[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is meadow violet, the state flower of New Jersey, USA.

The state flower of New Jersey was originally designated as such by a resolution of the Legislature in 1913. Unfortunately the force of resolution ended with the start of the 1914 legislative session, leaving the violet with uncertain status for the next fifty years. In 1963 an attempt was made to have the Legislature "officially" designate the violet as the state flower, but the legislation apparently failed. In 1971, at the urging of New Jersey's garden clubs, legislation more specifically designating the Common Meadow Violet, Viola sororia, as the state flower was enacted.

Nice shot, and very interesting shape (?) -- was this shot taken as a panoramic or did you just crop it this way? Either way it turned out very nicely. The colors are beautiful, and the floweres are spaced so evenly apart. Great composition! Did you happen to use the flash? For some reason the picture looks like it has an overall artificial looking source of light, but I could be wrong.... great shot! If you like purple flowers, you must check out my "Water on Iris" shot. I think you'd love it!

Thank you for posting wonderful photo of violets! My favourite flower :) Very good colours, details and composition. I like the way you composed it in a panoramic dimension.
