| The Mountain Violet has several look-a-likes
yellow relatives. The nectar guides on the lower petal invite the
pollinator to the spot where the reward is given as well as to the
pollen that needs to be dispersed. |
 |
| Beckwith's Violet has the most attractive color
combination ranging from yellows to pinks to purples. |
 |
| Maclosky's Violet can settle in the sub
alpine zone and therefore found later in the flower season. Most
Violets are found only at the very beginning of the season. |
 |
| The Western Dog Violet is quite large for a small
guy and hides in the grasses near streams. |
