Viola obtusa,
a perennial herb with short white hairs all through, inhabits sunny
grasslands in fields and mountains. Leaves, both radical ones and
the other ones on the stems are concentric, 1.5-3cm long. Flowers,
with 1.2-1.5cm-long petals, are dark red-purple, with distinctive
white portions in the centers. The height measures 10-20cm around
bloom time, but they grow to approximately 30cm when they make
fruit. Bloom time: March-May. |
