    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!
