This is tougher than I thought it would be. Hint: It is a wildflower which grows in the eastern half of the U.S.
Heh, I was thinking of a movie that had a dragon in it. Prepending "very poor" to "fantasy/adventure movie" gives a lot of candidates, I suspect.
Well, now you and I know. I'll let someone else answer it. I've added another clue with my previous reply.
Is this it? http://www.missouriplants.com/Whitealt/Erigenia_bulbosa_page.html Is 'Eragon' very bad, then? Not seen it, would it best stay that way?
Since tipularia's outside, I'll round up some of the clues: spicy plant -> common name, "salt and pepper" Eragon -> Erigenia dumbbell -> Umbelliferae or Apiaceae not sure if this one was intentional or not: Got to go mow the yard -> harbinger of spring (another common name) As for the movie, ehhh... maybe buy a nice plant instead!
Here is the rest of it. I photographed it a couple of weeks ago in Arkansas next to the Buffalo River. The petals are only about 4 mm long. There are two reasons for "spicy". It is also called "pepper root".
Good try W.G., but this one has already been identified in previous posts. It is Erigenia bulbosa a.k.a. "Harbinger of Spring", "Salt and Pepper" or "Pepper Root". Cardamine concatenata also has a common name of "Pepper Root". They even grow next to each other, and I photographed one after I took this one.
