Ficaria verna
The Lesser Celandine is one of the first flowers to bloom in early spring, and as easily confused with the Marsh Marigold, which has similar leaves and flowers but only 5 petals. The Lesser Celandine flowers form delightfully colourful clsuters in the hedge along our lane. The flowers gradually turn white before they lose their petals, as you can see in the picture below.
