Description
In the early years of the 19th century, Lady Mary Elizabeth Bennet (1785–1861) collected and cultivated every sort of Viola tricolor she could procure in her father's garden at Walton-upon-Thames, Surrey. Under the supervision of her gardener, William Richardson, a large variety of plants was produced via cross-breeding. In 1812, she introduced her pansies to the horticultural world, and, in 1813, Mr. Lee, a well-known florist and nurseryman, further cultivated the flower. Other nurserymen followed Lee's example, and the pansy became a favorite among the public. -Wikipedia
