January 2007 - Yellow Montane Violet

Viola praemorsa ssp. praemorsa

The Western Montane Violet was chosen for this month's flower because of its beauty and rarity. It's red-listed meaning threatened in Canada, its northern limit. On the Canadian west coast, watch for it in Garry Oak stands and grassy meadows.
