Sweet White Violet

Description:

The sweet white violet grows from 6 to 12 inches high. They grow small white flowers in spring and early summer. The lower petals have purple veins. The upper petals are often twisted or bent backwards. The stalks are a reddish tinged. They grow 1-2 inch long heart shaped leaves with a few scattered hairs.

Notes:

From Wikipedia - "The sweet white violet, once common over most of its range, is considered endangered.[citation needed] The white violet has demonstrated a weak ability to respond to climate change by shifting its flowering time in some areas of its range.[citation needed]" Not sure if this is true? I had not heard this was an endangered flower ???
