Question
I think this is a wildflower, but it is too early to tell what kind of flower it will get. Can you help identify it by the leaves. It is growing on the banks of a stream in Southwestern Vermont. Thank you.
Answer
Imc825, the plant you have photographed is Cardamine diphylla (two-leaved toothwort), a member of the Brassicaceae (mustard family). It is a common component of deciduous forests on rich, moist soils in New England.
