The out of season Dog Violet with a lilac-purple spur
On
the main part of the lower slopes of Mill
Hill I spotted my first Hairy Violet and
later I spotted just the one Dog Violet
in flower, identified by its pointed sepals,
but it had a white and lilac spur. It was also possible it had hairy leaves,
but it was possible that the hairy leaf belonged to another plant?
This oddity is illustrated in the photographs
above.
PS:
Dog
Violets were discovered in prime flowering
condition on 26 May 2003,
so they can be later than normal.
