Common name : Lesser celandine – Scientific name : Ranunculus ficaria – Family : Ranunculaceae.
---
Description : Lesser celandine, also known as fig buttercup, is an herbaceous, perennial plant. Plants have a basal rosette of dark green, shiny, stalked leaves that are kidney- to heart-shaped. The flowers open in March and April, have eight glossy, butter-yellow petals, and are borne singly on delicate stalks that rise above the leaves. Pale-colored bulblets are produced along the stems of the above-ground portions of the plant, but are not apparent until late in the flowering period. When in bloom, large infestations of lesser celandine appear as a green carpet with yellow dots, spreading across the forest floor. There are many varieties of lesser celandine including a double-flowered form with many crowded petals and dark green leaves mottled with silvery markings.
Habitat : Lesser celandine occurs in moist forested floodplains and in some drier upland areas, and seems to prefer sandy soils.

I know well this pretty flower, it is quite common in Poland. Bright colours, very good sharpness and details. Composition is central but it works for me. TFS Christian!
