I took this photo today on a walk alongside the Six Mile Water at Monkstown Wood, N.Ireland. It was growing in a wooded area beside the river in quite a shaded area. ID please anyone?
Thanks, John  |

Lovely photo, but have you got views of it that show the spur at the back of the flower, as that really helps when ID-ing Violets? |

I went back to Monkstown Wood and took a photo of the flower which I hope shows the spur as you requested.
