Common Blue Violet - Viola papilionacea
This is the most common of violets flowering usually in the spring but occasionally later in the season. The low plant has flowers and leaves on separate stalks plus the leaves have no stems and attach themselves directly to a slender root. Violets hybridize freely and it is difficult to identify them with certainty using color or other key indicators.
