Nuttall's violet

James Nuttall, for whom Nuttall’s violet was named, was a Harvard Professor of Natural History. He also was an explorer, botanist, ornithologist, and ecologist of the western United States in the early 1800’s. These are a favorite early prairie wildflower, these bloom from April through May . The only violet color on this violet are the purple nectar guides, the stripes that lead the pollinators to the flower's throat.
