Lesser celandine [Ranunculus ficaria]

3: Lesser celandine. Shiny leaves. A very invasive European plant. This is immature. When mature there will be a stripe. Buttercup family. Has pretty yellow flower. Must be boiled for two minutes before eating. That will take away the bitterness. (Prospect Park, Mar 3, 2024)
