| Keywords: outdoor flower plant Viola (US /vaɪˈoʊlə/ and UK /ˈvaɪ.ələ/)[1] is a genus of flowering plants in the violet family Violaceae. It is the largest genus in the family, containing between 525 and 600 species.[2][3] Most species are found in the temperate Northern Hemisphere; however, some are also found in widely divergent areas such as Hawaii, Australasia, and the Andes. The flowers of the vast majority of the species are zygomorphic with bilateral symmetry. The flowers are formed from five petals; four are upswept or fan-shaped petals with two per side, and there is one broad, lobed lower petal pointing downward. The shape of the petals and placement defines many species, for example, some species have a "spur" on the end of each petal while most have a spur on the lower petal. Solitary flowers end long stalks with a pair of bracteoles. The flowers have 5 sepals that persist after blooming, and in some species the sepals enlarge after blooming. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viola_(plant) Viola (US /vaɪˈoʊlə/ and UK /ˈvaɪ.ələ/)[1] is a genus of flowering plants in the violet family Violaceae.
