13-Viola pedata plant

One of the loveliest native violets is Viola pedata,bird's foot violet, which is most often found in sand prairies and sand savannas. The flowers are relatively large for such a small plant — the flowers are about 1.5 inches in diameter while the plants are about 6 inches tall.
