Wildflowers of Ainsworth: Small-flowered Crowfoot

Small-floweredCrowfoot
(Click on image to enlarge)

Found in the soybean field by Deep River County Park.

I had trouble identifying this because the specimens I was finding all had different numbers of petals — four, five, six, seven or more. Finally by process of elimination I figured out it's supposed to have five petals.

Also known as Kidney-leaf Buttercup.
