Bog violets. Suitsu, Matsalu  

 

In cities pansies or cultivated violets  shine in flower pots and garden beds; their beautiful relatives can be seen in abundance in the forest undergrowth and in fields. Already in April the bog violet and the common dog violet from the Viola genus, with their mostly purple-blue flowers, catch the eye. A little later the Teesdale violets (Viola rupestris) and the wonder violets (Viola mirabilis) that have two kinds of flowers appear – the world of violets is worth closer study.
