The flowers are raised to about the same level as the leaves. The flowers are similar (petals 3/4” long), with hairs on the lower petals. The fruits are similar. Flowering is from late April to late May, and fruiting begins in late May. V pratincola is frequent on moist prairies and in open woods as well as in lawns.
