No, everyone in this thread is correct about foliage, bloom structure, petal count, etc. I never know how much info to give with plant ID corrections without coming off as an arrogant plant nerd, lol. But as a former flower farmer and florist - and knowing you like the info! - yes, those are pansies. They are not violas (although all pansies descend from violas) because they are orange; violas only appear in blue, white, purple, and yellow. Additionally, pansies have been bred for bicolor and streaky appearance which these seem to have. You will notice pansy/viola foliage is compact, low, with oblong leaves. They are prolific volunteers so look forward to more!

Yeah sorry mine came out wrong, I meant the California poppies that I looked up were rufflier so I wasn’t confident they were poppies. Hadn’t been assed to find out if the app was right or not, but you fine folks did.

I get it, I could someone’s ear off about cannabis myself.

The apps are really cool though! Just not perfect. And yeah, the fun thing about plants is that there is always someone who knows wayyyyyyy more than you about any given plant, and there’s always more to learn! Like I couldn’t tell you much more about pansy breeding programs or genetic selections but I guarantee you there’s like 5 PhD level pansy nerds somewhere on earth who could :)

Sounds like you’re number 6 in line and have an axe to grind haha.
