Day 223: Tiny Viola langsdorfii is a lover of wetlands and bogs, and as such, finds itself at ease in Longmire Meadow among the Skunk Cabbage, Devil's Club and other moisture-loving plants of Mount Rainier National Park. Its pale flower is easy to overlook even when many plants are grouped together. Langsdorfii, commonly called Alaska Violet, may be distinguished from other similar Viola species by a sac-like spur at the rear of the lower petal.
