Help with identification of this wildflower would be appreciated. :smile:

I though it might be blue-eyed grass but an not sure. It was taken on 10 April in south central Pennsylvania just north of Maryland.

Clarity,vibrance, and contrast adjusted in LR3.

Nice shot. Don't know the ID. If it's blue-eyed grass, it's different than what we have here in northeastern MD.

It's unlikely to be blue-eyed grass. They are a late spring flower. An early spring candidate might be a Hepatica but I'm not sure that they have stripes in the petals. This also looks a bit like a cultivated flower that grows in my garden, but I don't know it's name. It was planted by previous owners.

Doris:
Nice take on this unnamed flower. Good DOF on the anthers. I wish the blur petals were in the back rather than in the front but this is a personal preference.
