Cardamine bulbosa explained

Cardamine bulbosa, commonly called bulbous bittercress[1] or spring cress,[2] is a perennial plant in the mustard family. It is native to a widespread area of eastern North America, in both Canada and the United States. Its natural habitat is moist soils of bottomland forests and swamps, often in calcareous areas.[1]

In late spring and early summer, white flowers are produced well above the foliage.[3] Its leaves are edible, and have a peppery taste.[4]
