Can someone ID this viola for me.........
« on: June 23, 2013, 03:03:29 PM »
Plant is around 18 inches high and is more like a small shrub than a viola.
Terrific plant.
Very hard to get a decent pic though, flowers are more blue than the pic shows.

Maggi, the leaves do look like some V. elatior plants I have but this plant is huge compared to those.
Maybe this one is normal size and the others are midgets.
Thanks for the ID
