Hope you find that sucker. Great weekend here with the North Dakota Birding Festival.

I only found one "brand new" violet this spring, but I can imagine the number of new plants and animals you'll get in N.D. Look forward to seeing more.DenProhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07482657904308866348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5991398492738672004.post-16213735470333235802011-06-02T18:33:29.789-07:002011-06-02T18:33:29.789-07:00Fun post, Mike.

It does look quite similar to V. nephrophylla in color and shape/size of the leaves except for being one of the stemless blues while the Dog Violets are stemmed (as your pictures nicely illustrates). Keep the Viola's coming as you see them! I've seen so many back here I'd love to see some of the western indigenous species!Andrew Lane Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555125434346996812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5991398492738672004.post-52803385387267517762011-06-02T17:39:07.269-07:002011-06-02T17:39:07.269-07:00Hi, Mike.

I've never seen a yellow one before, like your Nuttall's. Until this last year, we had a 10-15 year severe drought in Australia, and so violets, and many other exotics seem to have often vanished. I've been putting a few in at home to get them up and running again. Looks like you could spend alot of time at Arrowood!Gardener in the Distancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14478393904059307841noreply@blogger.com
