Ranunculus

 

 
Posted by Picasa

These pastures in Chambers county, Alabama were covered last week with a yellow flower with shiny waxy petals. The second picture is my attempt at a close up but I am afraid you can only get a general idea of what it looks like. It is beautiful , but it produces prodigious amounts of seed, so is difficult to eradicate. It can actually crowd out grass and is not suitable cattle fodder so it is best to not let the Ranunculus get this far ahead of you.
