| It is rananculus...specifically Buttercup. I used to live in Minnesota and they were a wildflower there. Quite pretty. |

| 'It is rananculus...specifically Buttercup.' Buttercup is a general common name for many different yellow Ranunculus and is far from specific. Carol23 didn't specify which Ranunculus probably because there are an awful lot (over 70 in N America) and many are hard to differentiate. I wouldn't hazard a more specific id but I'd say it's not R repens which is one very common one. I would be circumspect about transplanting it until it was correctly identified. Some are basically weeds in a garden situation. This one appears to be holding its own amongst some very tough weed species and is quite likely to be fairly aggressive. |

| I agree with flora uk. Buttercup can take over a yard if left to it's own devices. I know from experience. :( |
