Wood Violet (Viola Riviniana) has no fragrance. For this reason, it was called Dog Violet, to emphasize the inferiority towards Viola Odorata, which has a strong odor. It blooms from April to June. The young leaves, before flowering, can be eaten as salad. The whole plant is rich in A and C vitamins. It contains, also, an antioxidant called Anthocyanin, widely used as a dye in the food industry (E163).
The picture was captured using a Nikon D40X camera with Nikon 55-200mm VR AF-S f/4-5.6G ED lens and these settings: exposure time – 1/200 seconds, focal length – 150 mm, ISO – 200, F- number – 5.3.
