Those on the close-up are related to Viola tricolor but of a selected or hybridized origin. There are lots of varieties available! The vild form is not as wideflowered. Please see:

Pansys, Pansys, everywhere:
Last week I had to attend a meeting in a church in Bremen. Normally cemetery is not a place I go for a stroll. But to reach the church I had to go thru the graveyard. Was quite surprised, to see somany beautiful flowers. Pansy or viola tricolor seems to be one of the popular plants there. It doesn’t need much care and it flowers and flowers and flowers. There were so many color varieties. Fotos taken on 18. may 2011 in Bremen-Borgfeld.
