Celandine / Lesser celandine / Llygad Ebrill / Milfyw / Ranunculus ficaria

Flowers March - May

celandine
Many people feel that Spring has truly sprung when the celandine starts to flower in March.  It's abundant in damp, shady places throughout Britain, and can be a persistent weed.  I photographed these in Parc Bryn Bach,Blaenau Gwent.  The name 'lesser celandine' is to distinguish it from the greater celandine, which is a very different plant and the two are not related.
