Common dog-violet (Viola riviniana), also called wood violet, is commonly found in the UK in grassy places, heaths and open deciduous woodland. The plant flowers from April to June and belongs to the Violaceae family. Common dog-violet provides a source of food to some rare fritillary butterflies. Some use the plant as a host for their eggs! #commondogviolet #woodviolet #violariviniana #violaceae #woodland #springtime #fritillarybutterflies #wildflowers #purpleflowers #edinburgh #scotland (at Edinburgh, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_X62oaDdhF/?igshid=17p9dow558nag
