Lesser Celandines
Frances White
About this work:
Lesser celandines are flowers that bloom in early spring. Growing from bulbs, they like ground that is very wet. Near to where I live there is a stream whose banks are covered with these flowers; I visit them every year. They appear as shiny yellow stars against the dark green carpet of their leaves.
