The wild pansy is known by more than a dozen other names (among them: heartsease, heart's ease, heart's delight, tickle-my-fancy, Jack-jump-up-and-kiss-me, come-and-cuddle-me, three faces in a hood, love-in-idleness, Johnny Jump up and pink of my John), connections to Greek and Roman mythology and might have been what Shakespeare had in mind as the source of the magic love potion in A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Thanks!
