Is this bindweed?

Good morning!

Could someone please ID he following photo - is it bindweed? It’s popped up everywhere in my border… it has those ball nodule things on the roots… the stems are very thin, and there are multiple stems

Thank you

Sorry I just searched my own posts - embarrassingly have asked this before a few years ago! Identified as lesser celandine - Apologies

Liriodendron

That's lesser celandine.  Very common on road verges and woodland edges - bright yellow spring flowers with shiny petals, and, as you've discovered, little tubers which break off its roots when you try to dig it up.  I tolerate it except where it's growing over a low-growing plant - it dies down soon after flowering and disappears until the following spring.  It spreads easily by seed too, so if you don't want it, don't let it seed.  But fortunately, definitely not bindweed.

It can be a bit of a nuisance but the flowers are pretty so it depends on where they spring up for me

@Liriodendron thank you! I felt a bit panicky, as it seemed to be everywhere
@alexryzawlskiqBU-X4OF hasn’t flowered yet… I’ve taken a few out but will leave a few… I was too overenthusiastic

Ficaria verna..lesser celandine.
Very pretty.
Yes invasive...but dies away in summer so not a problem.
Impossible to get rid of it.
Has tiny  white tuber things  on the roots..leave just one behind and it will grow next year...see pic

I find it rather beautiful, in small doses, and in the right places.
