Welcome to Project Noah! There are a couple of possibilities for this wildflower. When taking photos of plants for identification, it is very helpful to have images of all parts of the plant, including a photo of the entire plant. For example, some plants have very similar looking flowers but the leaves or stem may be different. There are a few databases online of North American wildflowers, some are better than others. Some of them allow searches of flower color, which may be helpful in this case. Since you are new here, please take a few minutes to read through the FAQ page for general guidelines for posting and information on other features of this site. Welcome again! I hope you enjoy it here!
