Lesser Celandine and Bloodroot

Part of the Lesser Celandine colony creeping over onto the Bloodroot plants. Lesser Celandine is also called Pilewort. I rescued two little clumps from a ditch near my mother's house in PA where I new shopping center was to be constructed. The two little clumps are now fairly large colonies and this year I'm finding new plants quite a few feet away from the origional colonies. As the yellow flowers fade, the petals often turn partially white.

Argh! This plant is EVERYWHERE in my garden - it is very nice, BUT I've just got too much of it and it's so difficult to get rid of..... Jac - do you want some of mine?!

Sid, I have this plant in the woodland garden with hostas and taller plants, so I'm really pleased that it's becoming a nice spring ground cover. It doesn't last very long here. By summer it's completely faded away.
