unknown flower

16 years ago

I found these small, little flowers at the edge of the forest. They get some sun but are in mostly shade. I'm in the Shenandoah Valley at 13,000 feet or so, if that matters.

I've searched and searched and can't figure out what they are! It's of no help that I don't even know what to search for... What is this flower shape called?

Any help is MUCH appreciated!

Geez... pretty sure that should be 1300 feet. Still new to my area :)

It appears to be some type of bladder Campion.

Flower shape should be called "nodding".

Regards,

Tom
