Canada Violet


I’ve recently come upon these beautiful snow white Canada Violet (Viola canadensis) on the trail going up Hightop, and also at the yoga studio where I can often be found. As you see here, they often bloom one at a time. Petals of this species are longer and more narrow than other violets. Each of the flowers is 1/2 to 3/4 inches across, and attracts mostly bees for its pollen and nectar.
