Either Claytonia perfoliata or Lepidium perfoliatum. I cant see the details.

I’m thinking Spurge

Danilo Maffei said:

looks like Euphorbia robbiae to me.

Try looking at this image: http://www.forestryimages.org/browse/detail.cfm?imgnum=5382409

I’d say the flower above is wood spurge
Euphorbia amygdaloides

Yes, it is one of the lower growing euphorbias! I agree, robbiae. And the deer do not touch it!

G Wiz said:

Could well be Danilo they look the same.

What it’s definitely not – is Claytonia or Lepidium

Johnny Robberbaron said:

Is it a Peggie G. and Harvey C. Robberbaron Water lily with generous underwriting from halliburton?

Ann Rafalko said:

We’ll end the suspense now! The plant is Euphorbia characias ssp. wulfenii, and no, it is not brought to you by any of our generous sponsors. Thanks for playing everyone. Hope you had fun!

It is a very interesting game.
It would be nice to make it last a little over 90 minutes, so that Europe can also play … ;-)
(C’est un jeu très intéressant.
Il serait agréable de le faire durer un peu plus de 90 mn, pour que les européens puissent aussi y jouer…)
