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.
