Can someone please identify this flower for me. Thank you.
Early spring Rocky Mountain Succulent
I am REALLY glad you posted and asked on this one. This is called Myrtle Spurge, common in the Rockies. It is a noxious weed but also dangerous. It will kill off your other plants and cause blisters if not pulled carefully. A bit like poison oak of the mountains. Here is a link. I hope this helps. http://www.ci.longmont.co.us/code_enf/ord/MyrtleSpurge.htm
Here is the Davesgarden files in case you want more information for the New York area.

Thank you so much. I knew I could rely on the folks at Dave's to have the answer.
If you are interested in this type of plant but something safer, check out stonecrops. Those do beautifully and are so each to maintain plus the colors change with the seasons making it feel like you have three different plants in one! Happy Gardening!
