    Can somebody help me with plant ID?
    I found it growing wild in mixed woods in South New Jersey. There was a large group of them growing in a low spot nearby a creek. All and all, they look like a miniature version of Lunaria. The tallest one was about 20 cm, but most are around 10-15 cm. The flower color is distinctively different - bright magenta instead of lilac. The flowers are typical with four petals, cross shaped.
    The flower on the plant I dug up started to fade by the time I took pictures.
    My pictures are not very good, but might help.
    Thanks.
