    I took these photos of this pinkish wildflower that was in Russellville, Arkansas USA and was found in a heavily wooded area with uncut understory. It was located on a stretch of land surrounded by fresh water. It seems to be maybe in the Violet family as they seem to be the ones now blooming in this area. However the number of petals and shape of leaves seem to be different from most violets. Photos were taken 03-22-2011. Any help with I.D.? Thanks!!!

    Thanks so much Sundrop. Didn't know it was in the buttercup family this early around here.
