Marsh Marigold
Glossy buttercup flowers in early spring along streams and wet areas. One of the first wetland bloomers.
Handle with care
The leaves are poisonous raw and irritate the mouth and throat. Old foraging books list this plant as a cooked green, which is where people get into trouble: treat it as ornamental and leave it alone.
