White Water Buttercup: The 162nd Flower of Spring & Summer!


This morning I thought I'd try to be clever and take a picture of a croaking frog. As you can see, there are no pictures of croaking frogs. Stealth Janet is a myth! :D However, I did creep over to the pond to take a look and that's when I noticed flowers on the water! I thought, "They must have blown there from elsewhere or maybe a bird dropped them..." But that didn't make sense. I looked more closely and was amazed to see that they were blooming from a plant growing in the water! SURPRISE! I thought they looked suspiciously like a buttercup, and I smiled when I discovered that it is indeed a Water Buttercup!
From Wikipedia:
Ranunculus aquatilis (common water-crowfoot, white water-crowfoot) is a plant species of the genus Ranunculus, native throughout most of Europe and western North America, and also northwest Africa.
This is an aquatic plant, growing in mats on the surface of water. It has branching thread-like underwater leaves and toothed floater leaves. In fast flowing water the floaters may not be grown. The flowers are white petaled with yellow centres and are held a centimetre or two above the water. The floater leaves are used as props for the flowers and are grown at the same time.
