True to its name the featured flower was found popping out of about three inches of water along the shore of Green Lake. With almost a saddened look the solitary little flower, about 3/8″ (8 – 12 mm), droops from its stem. Like other violets its lower petal is larger with more pronounced purple viens. The heart-shaped leaves raise on a separate stem. Common but a little hard to find, obviously in very wet places, below 5,000′ elevation.
