Marsh blue violet - viola cucullata

Blue Ridge, White Rock Falls Trail

This particular specimen is paler than most I have seen of this species, but even whiter specimens have been noted. Notice the darkening and increased color saturation towards the centre, which is typical of this species, but also of others. The thick-ended throat hairs in the are not typical of any other violet species I know of.
