Another one found on the Rhine riverbank near Zurich, Switzerland. Pics were taken in April 2016

Requested to please provide ID.

Its a Viola sp.

Not sure exactly which violet it is, but looks like Common Dog Violet (Viola riviniana), see http://eol.org/pages/2867522/overview

I guess ID is correct !

Viola odorata L. ??

Violets are not easy.

Id involves checking the shape of the sepals.

I do not think this is Viola odorata.

I believe it is Viola riviniana the common dog-violet,
