    I don't know , but it does have only 4 petals, which is unusual so you might be able to narrow it down significantly using some plant identifier.

    It looks like Cuckoo Flower, Cardamine pratensis.

    We call it Ladies Tresses, I wonder where all these regional names came from. Every area call it something different.

    It’s it’s just come to me, we call it Ladies Smock. Not Tresses.
