pansies
Faces in flowerbeds
Pansies are garden flowers with velvety petals in varied colors, often with dark central markings that suggest a face.
They bloom in cool weather and are popular for borders and containers.
Pansy is also a derogatory term for an effeminate man or a weak, timid person: Don't be such a pansy.
This slur, once common, now sounds dated.
