What kind of plant is this?

[Natural Citizen]

Anyone know?

It popped up a few years ago from some wildflower seed I threw down.

I've never seen it flower before, until now.

It's an alien species, there aren't any "pods" growing out of it are there?

Looks kind of like a Forget-me-not, but the leaves aren't right.

Looks like the green kind.

Those are the best!

lol. They are violets. There are white and yellow ones too in the woods in Ohio.

I have them all over the yard and the woods this time of year along with dandeliions.

Google image search is your friend. Pulled it up immediately. It really is pretty easy to use.

Yep, that's it.

Thanks!

They're small flowers, but they're pretty. I like the throats of em.

Perhaps. But Google is not my friend. So there's that.

The wild violets make up much of my lawn, and I'm fine with that. They stay green even in drought. They stay low, so less mowing needed. They have flowers. And they're a native species.

Blue Violets.

African Violets have fuzzy leaves.

Violets are prettt feral around here. They are everywhere you let them. I don't mind them too much, but I don't go out of my top cultivate weeds either.
