This pretty little herb is called a viola. Grown by my husband in a pot on our front porch, this tastey morsel is great in salads as well as a breath-freshener on the way out the door. It tastes a lot like mint! With its wonderful flavor and vibrant colors, viola is a great addition to any garden.
To make things even better, it acts like a weed, producing many seeds and spreading to surrounding areas rather easily. Plant a couple of these babies and you could have "tons" of them sooner than you'd expect!

They are also called "Johnny Jump Ups" in our part of the world (Santa Clara County, California).
When our children were very young, they used to call pansies "Crankie Flowers", because the pansies reminded them of cranky old men's faces all crinkled up.
