Mitella diphylla (two-leaved mitrewort)

This lovely plant is blooming locally now--why not go to Pine Hills to check it out?  Mitella diphylla is a member of the plant family Saxifragaceae, which also includes some common ornamental species such as coral bells. M. diphylla doesn't look like much from afar, but its small flowers are worthy of close inspection.  The petals are highly divided (fimbriate) and make for a striking (if miniature) spectacle.
