At first I was going to say a Wild Violet but I'm not so sure. Whatever it is you did an awesome job capturing its beauty! Thanks for sharing!

Very nicely cropped and detailed shot and here is a little more info on these. The first species described, Virginia Spiderwort T. virginiana, is native to the eastern United States from Maine to Alabama, and Canada in southern Ontario. Virginia Spiderwort was introduced to Europe in 1629, where it is cultivated as a garden flower, I read somewhere that some dogs maybe allergic to it :)
