Viola in patio

[Kayleigh]

I never planted these they are growing in my patio, is it wild or a garden specimen.
And are they violas..

Sorry they are not in very good condition..






Cheers

It is a wild violet- which are botanically Violas (as are Pansies). Looks like Common Dog Violet, V. riviniana, to me. I think ants sometimes disperse the seeds- an attractive wild flower!

Thank you aeshna,

Do they come in birdseeds as I get a lot of wild flowers sprouting from what the birds drop and where they are growing is where the wood mice live and take the seeds..

I'm not aware of them being in wild birdfood mixes, but guess it's possible!
