    This 5 petal white peppermint striped wildflower was found in a swamp area of a local wildlife sanctuary in Russellville, Arkansas. These photos were taken 04-05/06-11. The leaves are long and very narrow. The single bloom attached to a short and small stem which is attached to a bigger and longer stem. Thanks for any help with ID!!!

    Two Claytonias in Arkansas. One with narrow leaves - Claytonia virginica.
