Confederate Violets

Saw tons of violets on a recent walk.  There were lots of purple ones, and plenty of white ones.  Then I saw this one.

It caught my eye because it was different.  When I got home, I looked it up.  It's a Confederate Violet - so called because their coloring reminded people of the blue-grey Confederate uniforms in the Civil War.  I have read that they are more common in the south than in the north.  What a delightful little find!
