View 15 Wild Violets Alberta - Canada Violets are rhizome spreaders that can develop enormous patches. Plant as an understory plant in difficult-to-grow places with competition from trees and shrubs, or utilize its spreading tendency to your advantage in broad expanses. Violets bloom in the spring and might occasionally bloom again in the fall. 2a Early Blue Violet.jpg Northern Starflower 3.jpg Cactus Pincushion 2.jpg 1.jpg - Sand Dock Scarlet Mallow 1.jpg 3.jpg Slender Blue Beardtongue 1.JPG Blue Beardtongue Mimulus lewisii - Red Monkey Flower 2.jpg is a photograph of a Mimulus lewisii - Red Monkey Flower.

Wild violets work well as accent plants under trees, near water sources, and in beds. They're also great for providing immediate ground cover in a forest garden. They may also be cultivated in pots. Both the leaves and the blooms (which bloom in late winter and early spring) are delicious and vitamin-rich. Following a provincewide children's vote, Alberta selected the great horned owl (Bubo virginianus) as its provincial bird in 1977. The great horned owl spends the entire year in Alberta. It was chosen to represent the rising concern for endangered species not only in Alberta, but throughout the world. Colours Fish in blue and gold
