Birdsfoot Violet (Viola pedata) at Burrage Pond Wildlife Management Area in eastern Massachusetts

Underfoot in this swampy south-of-NH spot is Birdsfoot Violet (Viola pedata). Identification is aided by the deeply lobed basal leaves (that look a little like a bird's foot) and the orange center. It's a rainy day, so the flowers are wet.
