Everywhere I look, especially in the fields and open areas, I see these yellow blooms. I knew they were weeds but I wondered what they are and can I grow these in my yard. So behind my house I went out and picked a few so I could research and identify for a name.
The best I can tell these are called bulbous buttercups. The Bulbous Buttercup has bright yellow flowers with downturned sepals underneath the petals. It has a hairy stem with a bulb-like swelling at the base, and leaves with three lobes.
Tah-dah, mystery has been solved. I can grow these in my yard if I contain them so they don’t invade. I just might do this. They are perennial, meaning they will return each year. They are yellow like sunshine. I noticed they are seen in other countries as well, like Ireland.

It’s pretty weeds, but I do not know the name
Lovely photo of the buttercups, we have these in NZ too
Thank you very much!
I love everythinf that blooms, haha.
Yes but I like to know what some of the weeds are.
I am glad you found out what they are. I didn’t know either. I have seen them here though. I think bringing them to your garden would be great. How long do they bloom?
They are everywhere here, especially in the cow fields and pastures. And I read they are poisonous to cattle. They have a bitter taste according to what I read. They bloom for weeks, that is why I wanted them in my yard.
They have a beautiful yellow color! They will add to the garden (color wise). Weed, is an artificial construct humans use to define good and bad.
I love weeds!
Yes they would be neat to have I just like to research what I am planting first.
I’ve told the Virily world about my dad and Bamboo. It took a crew four days to remove the Bamboo when mom sold the house.
Oh my goodness, that is a lot of bamboo.
He planted it in the center of his backyard. 10 years later, it was the backyard.
Nice image of the buttercups.
Thanks, I picked home and photographed them on my deck.
You did a wonderful job.
I remember you posting these weeds, and glad that the mystery was solved. It has lovely yellow flowers.
These are different. You are remembering the ones I brought from my Dad’s yard. I was hoping those were not weeds but they were and they are gone.
Hmm… that means my memory has captured the word “weed” and not the picture of it.
there are no weeds in nature, only in the minds of humanity
Noted. A great perspective…
that having been said, laws also exist only in the mind of mankind but they have an opinion about segregated lawns…
I think I saw this flower during my walk on the meadow.
They are all over the world.
The pledge already grows too much,dear Carol … I do not know why I would raise it
Thank you my friend. 🙂
hmm, Really indeed Nice and common!!!!
Thank you very much.
hmm, you’re welcome!
I have dandelions in my back garden. But I tend to keep them there as I have been told that bees like them.
Yes I have those too but they are really invasive. Bees do like them.
I think this is also very common here.
I think you are probably right.
It actually looked really attractive!!
Love the yellow it has!
Thanks, that is why I researched it. I want it in my yard.
