Wild Violets

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

Here are some of the violets I have come across on my walks.

There are over 500 species of violets, and there are many cultivars, so I may have misidentified some of them.

This tiny one is a field pansy (Viola arvensis), akkerviooltje in Dutch. The flower is only 1cm (0.4") high:

The rare marsh violet (Viola palustris), moerasviooltje in Dutch, as seen in the local peat bog:

Wood violets (Viola riviniana), bosviooltjes in Dutch, seen in forests:

This is a "heartsease" (Viola tricolor), driekleurig viooltje in Dutch, from which many of the cultivated pansies are derived:

And finally, an unidentified species, no idea what this is:

Thanks for watching!
