It looks like chickweed but being as  how you are way up on the east coast,  Bloodroot seems to be a better guess.

I can see why Tom though chickweed, for the flower seems rather comparable.  However, the foliage is far to lobbed for the narrow-leaved species that I'm familiar with.

The plant also resembles Goldthread (Coptis trifolia).  But I can't really tell what size the plant is in your first picture.

@ Tom

You guessd it, and it does grow in Northern Florida by the way ;)


Blood root  Sanguinaria canadensis

sorry for the quality in the first picture, but that's what happens with scaling and compression.
