Joyce, Pansies were my grandmother's favorite flower. I found this 
information page that says in part:

Pansy blooms are single with five petals that are rounded in shape. Pansy 
flowers have one of three basic color patterns. Blooms can be single, clear 
color, such as yellow or blue. A second pattern is a single color having 
black lines radiating from its center. these lines are called penciling and 
are similar to viola markings. The last type of flower is probably the one 
most familiar to home gardeners. The bloom of this type has a dark center 
called a "face."

The pansy has one of the widest color ranges of any garden annual. Included 
in the wide color range are red, purple, blue, bronze, pink, black, yellow, 
white, lavender, orange, apricot and mahogany. the flowers may be of a 
single color or have two or three colors with a face.

The plant itself is compact, not more than 9 inches in both height and 
spread, and bears many stems. the medium green, coarsely notched leaves are 
oval or heart-shaped.

Varieties

Gardeners can choose pansy varieties based on the size of bloom and color 
combination. The size of a pansy bloom will fall into three categories:


Large-3 to 4 inches (9 to 11.5 cm.)
Medium-2 to 3 inches (6 to 9 cm.)
Multiflora-1 to 2 inches (4 to 6 cm.)

My memory is fading and I can't remember what something looks like.   Can
someone please help paint a better picture for me?

I know what colors pansies are, butt I can't remember the shapes of the
flower peddles.  Are they kinda shaped like a heart, but three hearts 
joined
at the bottom of the heart?

I know that they can be shades of purple [light and dark] or hinda a yellow
 center with the lavendar or purple on the outer part of the peddle.

Please do give me a little description.  I want to make some appliques  of
pansies and need more detail of shape or what you remember or can see.

I want to say there are little dark dots toward the center, but not sure if
 they are part of the peddle or something coming out of the center of the
flower.

Please help.

Joyce
