Who's that plant running around with you?

I went out to take a picture of The Big Clump of Daffodils on the first full day after emerging their harrowing ordeal. While there isn't any sun to warm them (insert weary sigh) at least they have the freedom to perk up.

Here's one of my anemone blanda blossoms, also protesting the lack of sun today:

I like those, I should plant some more.

A lot of the plants in my yard are inherited from the home's former owner, and I believe she was into planting native wildflowers. Many of which have been buried by the other things which have grown up around a few scattering of plantings. This is all speculation, of course. Here's another something which I think my mom identifies for me every year. Then I forget. I was thinking it was mayapple, but I see from the web I was clearly wrong. I think I might have mayapple growing in the same area, but that is not what this is. So, mom? (or anyone else?) Who is this?

Click on either picture to see them bigger! on Fickr if that helps identify them.

Whoever it is, I like the pink-tinged leaflets and the way they unfurl.

I would call that plant, "Robert".

Robert Plant...heh! Heh!

I am not too good at the whole yard and flowers thing. I want the beautiful yard and lovely flowers, but I never seem to make enough time to weed and cultivate. Sigh!
