Hydrophyllum virginianum?

Hydrophyllum virginianum?
Virginia waterleaf- probably. I consulted my favorite on-lin site: www.missouriplants.com/index.html It's run by the Missouri Department of Conservation. My doubt arises from this delicious post from Kate: www.flickr.com/photos/cathy-johnson/3537475660/ Her drawing looks remarkably similar in technical details and is a fascinating contrast in watercolor approach. Kate's painting is lyrical with movement, while mine is more the approach of the butterfly-pinned-to-the-board-in-the-collector's-case.
