Description
I have tried unsuccessfully to identify this very pretty little jewel. The blossom is only about one centimeter wide, on a stalk no more than six centimeters tall. It only has three or four leaves at the base, which barely reach above the leaf mold. Any help with identification would be appreciated.

Excellent shot, it looks like a spring beauty of the purslane family to me, has the right petal shape and number, the size is pretty close, normally you can find them in a moist wooded area.

Thank you Mark, you are exactly right. It is Spring Beauty, Claytonia virginica.

That's a relief...I expect like me you hate it when you can't ID things. So pretty. We have C.sibirica and perfoliata, both much taller, to 30 cms.

Have not heard of this flower, but it surely is beautiful!! Wow...spring has really sprung down there! Now the the flooding rains have stopped up here in NH, we are getting sunshine and very warm temps...so I'm hoping the trees will pop and the flowers will come!
