Lesser #celandine

This cheerful little yellow flower can be found on path edges and woodland floors in early spring. It’s a perennial herb in the buttercup family, with glossy, dark-green, heart-shaped leaves. Often growing in damp areas such as the banks of streams and ditches, it flowers between January and April and is an important source of nectar for queen bumblebees and other early pollinators coming out of hibernation.
