White Violets among the Violets
Canadian white violets (Viola canadensis) are growing among the regular ones in our backyard. They are tiny and delicate flowers. You need to lie down on your belly to photograph them properly and make their inner splendour visible. The pine cone in the second picture was a pretty addition to complement the violet’s beauty. My wife and I are happy to see them grow in abundance as soon as winter has loosened its grip. Enjoy!

I’ve only known white violets as an aberration: a variation of our purple or lavender violets. These are lovely; lucky you to have them.

I’ve never seen a pure white violet in the wild…or anywhere else. We get almost white violets in the yard but they are just pale form blues and the centers, stamens etc, are still blue. Lovely shots, Peter.

Lovely! And I think you have a great vocabulary to describe the natural world. You are never at a loss to name a flower or a shrub or a tree.
