Swamp Buttercup: The 74th Flower of Spring & Summer!
You may not believe the color of this flower, but it really was neon yellow!! I wouldn't have been surprised if this tiny blossom glowed in the dark! This was the only picture I got of this species, in bud form, as it was gone when I went back to take a picture of it opened! The deer around here are horrible!! I have finally learned to make a deer repellent spray and am going around and adding some protection to the flowers I would like to take pictures of before they are gobbled up by the wildlife!
The Swamp Buttercup is in an enormous genus of flowers called "Ranuncululs", which boasts over 600 species!! They are found all over the world and are almost always yellow with shiny petals. Buttercups are poisonous and animals that eat them will get blistering in their mouths and digestive problems from head to tail. In fact, handling thest flowers will cause dermatitis, so this is yet another flower that one should admire but not touch! :)
If you would like to know more about the flowers in the Ranunculus genus, Wiki has a very nice page here: Wiki: Ranunculus
