This page begins and ends with April 25th. Kazuya got up early and went to Naguriko in Saitama Prefecture on a violet's hunting expedition. As you will see - he was successful. I had a very bad cold and felt quite weak and under the weather so I spent the day resting at home.   Click on any thumbnail to begin.

  In this row are 3 images of Viola x pseudo-makinoi f. concolor. The outlined area of the first photo shows the portion which is included in the 2nd image. If I recall correctly, last year (2014) was the first time we ever found this species and added it to out life-list. It is the hybrid of Viola violacea var. makinoi and Viola sieboldi. |

The Viola x pseudo-makinoi is a hybrid of Viola variegata var. makinoi and Viola sieboldi f. variegata. |
