I thought this was a freaking weed.  Still could be one.

Carolina Spring beauty (_Claytonia_caroliniana_) was pretty abundant on the western side of North Mountain today... also it seems I need to clean my lens. #nature #plants #Claytonia #CapeBretonHighlands #ParksCanada #Montiaceae

The pink veins and anthers on this flower make it one of my favorite spring natives. I've been told the tubers of this plant are edible, but I'd imagine you would need a bunch to get anything substantial.

J20170504-0066—Claytonia sibirica—RPBG—DxO by John Rusk Via Flickr: Claytonia sibirica—candy flower. The label for this plant at Regional Parks Botanic Garden says it is "ssp. heterophylla" but the Flora of North America considers the subspecies as a synonym for the species and Jepson eFlora does not mention the subspecies. The species ranges north from the San Francisco Bay Area to British Columbia and Alaska, including the Aleutian Islands and the Russian island group of the Komandorski Islands (which is, really, the westernmost extension of the Aleutian Islands). The plant was introduced to the British Isles in the 18th century and has become a common weed. Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.
