Viola pedata (Bird's Foot Violet)

There's not very many plants that can take the hot dry baking sun that Viola pedata can take. 33 of our 50 states make a home for Viola pedata. And why do we call this charming little plant the "Birdsfoot Violet"? Well, just take a look at the dark green, dissected foliage and you will see that each leaf resembles a birds foot.
