Creeping buttercup - Ranunculus repens
King County (Seattle, WA), classifies this non-native invasive buttercup species as a Weed of Concern. Well, that's better than a noxious weed:-)
Actual size is 3/4 of an inch in diameter

Very nice Bill. Looks great zoomed.
Beautiful contrast between color and light !!
Beautifully photographed. I love that expression, Weed of Concern. I have a comprehensive and varied collection of those in my garden.
Well taken and presented Bill.
I'm not as concerned about them as I used to be! LOL! This is a gorgeous photograph of something I have spent years of my life trying to banish. Now that I no longer spend time on plant banishment (aka weeding), I can enjoy them a bit more. :) This is superb work, hon. :*
Awesome shot Bill...I see you've jumped ship from Olympus to Canon...
Nice capture!
A beautiful capture. I love buttercups, they are so pretty. Xx
Fabulous capture Bill very lovely flower
Did you shine it under your chin to see if you like butter :) Great shooting Bill.
Given the number of these around every spring (and it seems to grow exponentially every year) they don't seem terribly concerned. Personally I like them, and would never pull them out of anyplace they wanted to grow, but that's me. What a wonderful capture you got here; I try constantly to get a shot that shows that interior detail of these, and fail miserably every time, mired in way too much yellow. I don't know how you did this, but it works incredibly well!
cool details in zoom and a well lighted shot!
Superb capture my friend. God bless.
A 'Weed of Considerable Beauty' is a much more appropriate title, methinks! A lovely shot of this delectable looking little bloom, Bill!
Very nice capture.
Your timing was perfect, bright sun and deep shade makes for a stunning photo!
A beautiful and excellently brought out capture Bill.. Thanks for naming it as well.. Rob
Bravo.... excellent details with a VERY diificult subject!
A big beautiful torch in the midst of deep darkness. Great that you have just one flower---it's all you need to bring out its striking presence. In the yogic world, we spoke of "presence" all the time to mean one's essence. This flower has essence, and it blasts into the image with all of it intact. You have just enough green---and light---to bring the background to life. And the rest---the black---sets off the buttercup beautifully. A beautiful solo shot, and the interior of the flower shines, in your hands, like it's just been 'freshly painted'. I always zoom, and, as always with fine photography like yours, the zoom makes the image burst into our eyes. Beautifully done, Bill. A flame!
What beautifully portrayed, Bill, I love the name in connection with the 'fat' shine on the flower. This radiates smug, yet modest, and gets in this way a very special identity, which is far from a type of weed, ennobled, he looks. You made him glorified in its kind, Bill.
