Lesser celandine ... Ranunculas verna ... can be invasive but I love seeing its smiling face in the first spring sunshine. It disappears by the summer.
He calls her the chocolate girl Cause he thinks she melts when he touches her She knows she's the chocolate girl Cause she's broken up and swallowed And wrapped in bits of silver
Thanks. Are they both the same plant because the leaf is different. The top one is more arrow shaped and variegated. Just variants? Keeping it under control won't be a problem as they are in raised beds. It's nice to see some colour at this time of year.
