We just bought a retired cow pasture, and now it's time to figure out what wildflowers we have! Love going through the identification process all over again, honestly. Any help with these would be great!

At first I thought Spring Beauty, but the petals are too pointy.

Dwarf cinquefoil.....I think.

The first flower may be a cut-leaved toothwort
I always get it mixed up with spring beauty they bloom at the same time here.
I think you are right about the other two Thumbs up

How much fun to discover a new wildflower area Smiling

I am so excited to have new flowers to identify. In WV, I always wanted burdock to suddenly appear but never had any luck. Now I found some on this land!!

Toothwort seems to have only four petals, whereas my mystery plant has five.

Stone, those pictures are definitely a match. Seems spring beauty can have several looks. Thanks for the links!
