Creeping Buttercup: The 106th Flower of Spring & Summer

This beautiful buttercup species was found down near our pond at the end of spring, and was a lovely surprise to find!

This buttercup specis is native to Europe, Asia, and Northwest Africa. It was sold as an ornamental flower, but because it is so successful at adapting to different climates, it's become a noxious weed in many areas where it is now found. Sap of this plant will cause blisters and like other buttercups, it's poisonous.
