Tiny and pretty.

I picked this, naughty I know but it was poking out from underneath a hedge and my knees don't like getting down that low.

I know there is a Viola or Pansy called Freckles but this is more like the wild Violets in size less than an inch across. Growing as a succession of singles under the hedge.

Does anyone know it.

Possibly Viola sororia ‘Freckles’?

Wish you had another photo! Looks translucent or I need to go to the optician!

It would seem from nursery photos online there is more than one version of Freckles, particularly as regards the degree of freckles and the background colour. I bought an Adonis plant last year and it now seems to be predominantly a version of Freckles and has many seed pods.

Thanks to all who replied. Thanks for the link Fermi, I think you are right I just had it in my mind that Freckles was a bigger plant altogether. Perhaps the hedge was stunting it's growth.
