I am going to join in with Dawn’s Festival of Spring which will last for 10 -12 weeks in celebration of this season and share something that is happening in or around my neighbourhood each week.
The large, golden flowers of Marsh-marigold (Scientific name: Caltha palustris) look like the cups of kings, hence its other name: ‘Kingcup‘. It has very large, rounded, scalloped leaves.
It is a widespread flower of ponds, marshes, damp meadows, ditches and wet woodland and also a good plant to add to a wildlife-friendly pond, providing shelter for frogs and early nectar for insects. Mine grows in the same patch as my Tulipa sylvestris, a botanic woodland tulip which just happens to be the exact same shade of buttery-golden yellow.

It was one of childhood quests, finding the first Kingcups of spring. Lovely shots, Juse.
Thanks Tish. The flowers are huge!
And so very yellow 🙂
Lovely yellows, Jude. The rain stopped here last night, but the gusty winds have been fierce!
Best wishes, Pete. x
Yes, the winds were horrendous here.
My goodness these are beautiful. Your garden must be quite lovely.
It is quite colourful at the moment, my favourite season so I do have a lot of spring bulbs and flowers.
Love marsh marigold – mine not in flower yet
I obviously have the soil it likes!
Beautiful. Yellow is so cheerful.
It is and this year I have a lot of yellow tulips too.
Beautiful, Jude. Happy spring. 😊
Thanks Patti. I just wish it was warmer. Still pretty chilly out there.
I hope it warms up, Jude. No coats!!
Such a lovely sunshiney yellow!
Yes, you need your sunglasses on!
😎
Happy flowers!!
Bright and cheerful.

Perfect for a damp shady area!
Well these are actually in full sun, but I suspect the soil is pretty damp.
