Wildflower - Common Meadow Violet

The cool/damp Spring weather has caused thousands of Common Meadow Violets (Viola sororia) to bloom in our lawn. It is known by a number of common names, including common blue violet, purple violet, woolly blue violet, hooded violet, and wood violet.



The flowers and young leaves of violets are edible, and can be added to salads in small amounts.
