White Meadow Violet In Spring Royalty-Free Stock Photo

An early sign of spring, viola is a genus of flowering plants in the violet family Violaceae and typically have heart-shaped, scalloped leaves, though a number have palmate leaves or other shapes. The vast majority of Viola species are herbaceous, and a substantial number are acaulescent in habit - meaning they lack any noticeable stems and the foliage and flowers appear to rise from the ground; the remaining species have short stems with foliage and flowers produced in the axils of the leaves.
