Saw my first Pine Violet (top),
Viola pinetorum, of the season at the side of North Mill Creek Road. The Wood Violets,
Viola lobata, have been out for a couple of weeks and are now abundant in many places around Quincy. Saw quite a few yesterday on the Feather River College nature trail. They're out along the Old Highway, 4 miles north of Quincy off 70. Noe the similarity of the flowers, but extreme difference in the leaves. Our local species of blue-violet violet comes out much later as does the white McCloskey's Violet. There are domestic violets in many yards at this time, and they come in a wide variety of colors.
