Violets


Newcomb's Wildflower Guide lists over 30 Viola species occurring in Northeastern and North-central North America.


Lance-leaved Violet


Birdfoot Violet

This was the first day of our monitoring season.  There wasn't much blooming, but for me, the Birdfoot Violet makes any trip worthwhile.  We counted over 300 plants blooming on the sand dunes just off Ostrich Lane.

The Sand cherry had enough buds for us to count it as well.

  1. Oh yes. One does have to love that little birdy feet thing going there. Precious.
