Although this is merely a sub species of V. tricolor, it is to me anyway, quite distinct and one of the plants I always look forward to seeing when exploring any dune system. It can be pure yellow, pure blue or yellow with some blue petals. This one was taken in Wales but the most I have seen of this plant was in the large dunes of Faraid Head, near Durness in the north of Scotland where they covered the ground in their thousands.
