can anyone help identify this wildflower? I found it growing along a wooded nature trail near some marshes in Pitt Meadows, BC.

I don't even know enough to call myself a beginner, but it looks similar to this Geranium:

I think that's common wood-sorrel, Oxalis acetosella. Those heart-shaped leaflets are the kicker :-).

Nicely captured!

Can anyone help. I think that this wildflower is a species of Penstemon. Possibly Apache Beardtongue (P. oliganthus USDA PEOL) or Rocky Mountain Beardtongue (P. strictus USDA PEST2).

The wildflower below is from the Virginia Piedmont area, near the Rappahannock River. It is in a cow pasture of heavy clay soil. It stood alone with nothing similar in its vicinity.
If the cluster had been in full bloom, perhaps its identification would be more obvious to me. Any thoughts?

Caladium.
Most general nurseries across the country sell them as bulbs in the springtime or as annual plants in the summertime. Since caladiums are native to warm climates, they mostly are grown as annuals in much of the US. An increasing variety of shades is available on the market today.

That is a willow-herb, I think it's hairy willow-herb, Epilobium hirsutum, in the Onagraceae family..

Found this plant on a shale slope in southeastern West Virginia. I have exhausted my resources, Newcomb's and 3 other reference books, this group's photos and the Conn., Del. and Mo. databases all to no avail. I hope a member of the group knows this plant.

Yakfur correctly identified the above plant as an escapee, Moss Phlox, not a wildflower. Thank you.
