Viola arvensis X Pansy hybrids again

Viola arvensis X Orange Pansy:

 Viola arvensis X Red Pansy:
 
 and close up of flower:
 
 and a reminder of just how small Viola arvensis is in comparison... here's a flower of Viola arvensis next to a flower from that purple edged F1 from Red Pansy pollen. The whole Viola arvensis flower could fit on just one of the petals of the hybrid.
 
Even so, the F1 flower could fit on just one petal of a typical pansy. The size is definitely intermediate between the two parents.
