I rather think that this is viola odorata. But it's mid-November! Is this common?
Has anyone else spotted unseasonal flowers this year? ]]> Wildflowers monkeyrepublic http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/forums/wildflowers/63090-flowering-out-season.html http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/forums/wildflowers/63089-flowering-out-season.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 12:13:59 GMT

I feel I should know the ID but am afraid I cannot recall it. The flower has a pedestal for insects to land on and opens to reveal the stamen etc when this happens. Image:...

My wife spotted this plant growing on the shore line at Shotley in Suffolk.

The wind was blowing a bit hence the rather poor image .

I have had a guess at it's identity but would welcome a correct identification please.
Thank you.

However I can't seem to find which type it is. Could it possible be something else. The petals don't seem as round as those of the Arabis photos I've been looking at... This flower was seen on the coast of central Italy. Thanks for your help! :D

I'm working on a personal project and so far I've figured out about 40 wildflowers by browsing hundred of pictures online but these last 6 have got me stumped :confused:. I'm going to post them all in this thread but if this is not ok let me know and I'll make separate threads. I want to respect the rules of the forum as you have all been so helpful so far :D

They were all seen in central Italy off the Adriatic coast...
