Can anyone ID this wildflower? [View all]

Saw it on my walk yesterday and can't find it in my wildflower field guide.

Northern Virginia, it was very small, maybe 5" tall, and I looked all around the vicinity, it was the only one. Maybe it's just a weed??



Thanks!

IMO, 'just a weed' is a flower/plant we don't like or want. elleng Mar 2024 #1
