Day 158: It always amuses me that 80% of the violet species in the Pacific Northwest aren't even vaguely purple. I can't help wondering why their common names don't reflect that. We do have a few in the lavender range, but the most common ones are all butter-yellow like little Viola glabella here who finally popped up in my yard to welcome spring. I haven't seen any above 1500' yet, but it won't be long now!
