Western Buttercup (Ranunculus occidentalis)<\/p>\n

Western buttercup is a yellow, low-growing perennial that blooms from March to May with cup shaped flowers. It thrives in moist meadows, open woods, and along stream banks in well-drained, loamy to sandy soils, ideal for Garry Oak meadows. Buttercups are critical for early spring pollinators like bees and flies. Be cautious that this plant is toxic when fresh that can irritate the skin and digestive system, do not consume. Despite its toxicity, it plays a critical role in the ecosystem by providing resources for pollinators with its early blooms. <\/p>\n
