Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Yellow Prairie Violet

A zoomed and cropped image of a little wild Yellow Prairie Violet. A lovely splash of bright yellow when you happen to spot one hiding in the grasses. Found this one west of Nanton, Alberta, recently.

I've just made up this mosaic to send to a few fellow botany friends and thought I'd upload it to Flickr, too. All repeats - but we NEED these cheery colours to brighten our temporary return to winter, LOL. I think my favourite of these is number 4, Scouring-rush.

LOL, I think I surprised even myself when this photo loaded - pretty sharp, unlike some of my photos : ) We saw several of these wildflowers at 12 Mile Coulee a few days ago. We don't see many of these plants in the city, so it's always a pleasure when they are found. Flowers are 10-15 mm across, growing April-early June.
