Bird's Foot Violet
Viola pedata
Named after its leaves which resemble a bird's foot... This gorgeous violet is native to a large portion of eastern North America and thrives in sandy areas, rocky slopes, and other sunny, very well-drained habitats that are undisturbed. Three different color varieties can be found in the wild; bicolor (pictured above), lilac, and white. I have found both the bicolor and solid lilac varieties in abundance within glades and some prairies here in Missouri. Additionally, this species hosts fritillary butterfly larvae and provides nectar to many other butterflies and bees.

November 29, 2022 - Violet Turaco or Violaceous Plantain Eater (Musophaga violacea)
These turacos inhabit forests, forest edges, and savannas, often near water, in the southern part of West Africa. They feed on fruit, especially figs, as well as berries, seeds, and possibly invertebrates. Breeding between April and October, they build fragile platform nests from sticks and twigs in trees, where females lay clutches of two eggs. Both parents incubate the eggs and feed the chicks.
