Viola rubella - an odd growth pattern for a violet.  But no wonder: it is from South America.  Is the stem woody, or is it a tender plant that is not very cold hardy?

The flower is almost symmetrical!

Thank you Ashley!

@Rick: Yes the stem is woody and it will be able to reach a height of about 60 cm.
It is not hardy, i. e. temperatures below - 5 ° Celsius are most be avoided.

my V.rubella are only 3 cm tall at the moment.
 I really like the elegant silhouette of Viola brevistipulata hidakana. I hope one day that its seeds will return to the srgc list ...

here is Viola jordanii, a fairly large violet (flowers and plants). I sowed it last year and for a year, I thought it was poorly identified because it did not yet have its stipules so characteristic.665586-0

here is the pink violet which was sown all alone in the garden, in the middle of a foot of Phlox subulata. Is this a Viola riviniana rosea Gerd?

Oh! i love Viola nutallii!
 Viola biflora flowers in my home for the first time, but I find its flowers too tiny (4 mm), I must not cultivate it properly.

Véronique,
It seems to me your Viola biflora is fine. The flowers are always quite small.

A few Viola species seen yesterday in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.



Viola purpurea ssp. purpurea – 3,625 feet (1,105 meters), canyon of the South Fork of the American River.



Viola purpurea ssp. integrifolia – 5,125 feet (1,562 meters), Peavine Ridge, growing in rocky andesite based soil. Subspecies integrifolia is generally associated with soils based on plutonic type rock (at least in our area).



Viola sheltonii – 5,125 feet (1,562 meters), Peavine Ridge. A very early blooming species – the last of the flowers at this site.

This is Viola striata - a little bit weedy but kept under control easily
