Miriam, what is it???
Margaret told me it was very invasive and you did not want it in your yard. Can some one else verify. It is very pretty. Cecile
Ann and Charlie might know.
Looks like lesser celandine which is invasive.
INVASIVE<. YES!!! do not. plant I brought it from VB. and has spread of acreage..but beautiful…YES!! Can kill it with painted roundup right now or a week ago. it will crowd out small natives, but will also completely disappear with in a few weeks but covers all plants it was growing over …very ugly and smothering for another 2-3 weeks! Brent Heath LOVES it and Tony Avent hates it!!!
It is very invasive and our backyard at the river is full of it and I love it – it looks so pretty and just says “spring is officially here”. I do pull it out of the borders.
Also known as fig buttercup.
a delightful find
