    I'm in Tennessee and have a lot of these plants growing on the north slope of my mountain. What type of plant do you think it is, this pic was taken March 30,2014

    Answer

    Dear rkstanzak, Your image appears to be plants of Cardamine diphylla (two-leaved toothwort), a member of the Brassicaceae (mustard family). You can confirm this by bruising the leaves and smelling for a horseradish or wasabi (spicy) scent. Best wishes.
