Viola hederacea
A creeping, evergreen perennial from eastern Australia and the Western Pacific Islands. It grows to about 10cm (4") tall, and spreads widely by means of trailing stolons that root at the nodes. The leaves are kidney shaped and bright green in colour. The purple and white flowers appear mainly in the warmer months, however this plant is rarely without a few flowers.
Full sun or part shade, most soils, very hardy, tolerates frost and shady positions

Sorry Ashish.. I knew the plant, but my internet is so slow I had to save it first.. Thanks for your help. :)
Christiane needed some details like entire plant picture to know whether it is grown on ground or swamp or fresh water. It is look to be a aquatic climber plant's flower.
