How do I go about learning the name of a flower?

I got a hanging basket, I cant figure out what kind of flower it is ( i got it at Home Depot, so they were no help), to me it looks like a mix between a pansy and a violet. Its blue and purple with a little 'ring' type thing inside the flower. Any ideas?


Thanks

Cut off a piece and take it to a nursery. They will be able to tell you the name. OR take a close up picture.
Reply:Go to k-mart or wal mart or boarders and find a book on annuals, thats what you get in hanging baskets, an you'll find out what you have. annuals are easy to care for but you need to find out if they do better in sun or shade. Good luck
Reply:Go to the library and look in a botanical book of flowers to identify it. They probably have pictures and identifications of most popular flowers out there.
