La Pensée sauvage ou Pensée tricolore (Viola tricolor) est une espèce de plantes herbacées, commune dans toute l'Europe, de la famille des Violaceae. Elle est recherchée pour la délicatesse de sa fleur. C'est l'ancêtre de la pensée cultivée. Le terme de pensée est antérieur au début de la culture des pensées. C'était une dénomination alternative, qui renvoyait à la signification symbolique de la violette, d’après le langage des fleurs.

Article
Viola tricolor is a common European wild flower, growing as an annual or short-lived perennial. The species is also known as wild pansy, Johnny Jump up (though this name is also applied to similar species such as the yellow pansy), heartsease, heart's ease, heart's delight, tickle-my-fancy, Jack-jump-up-and-kiss-me, come-and-cuddle-me, three faces in a hood, love-in-idleness, and pink of my john.
It has been introduced into North America, where it has spread. It is the progenitor of the cultivated pansy, and is therefore sometimes called wild pansy; before the cultivated pansies were developed, "pansy" was an alternative name for the wild form. It can produce up to 50 seeds at a time. The flowers can be purple, blue, yellow or white.
