Default What flower is this?

I have googled and flipped many pages of flower books and such...I still cannot find the name of this plant. I found it whilst walking in a mountain in Virginia, it is very unusual, I'd never seen one before - and apparently neither had any resources that I've checked.

If you can help, please send me any references or data concerning this plant. I send my thanks.
Sincerely.

Looks somewhat like Kerria japonica "pleniflora" (or a mix of the single
and double form of Kerria). It's not native to the US, but gets around.
