    Flowers from the Brassicaceae family have 4 petals, but it is hard to tell what it is from this photo as many of them look similar. The shape of the pod might help. Posted 10 years ago

          Sorry, I will admit that after all these years I'm still terrible at identifying plants. Each photo takes me 20 minutes and more often than not, I still don't know the species. Posted 10 years ago

    My first thought was Cardamine sp., but when looking closer, I think it might be Malcolmia maritima.
