Ivylore on Jun 20, 2013Yes, that's it! Oh-Oh- I hope it's not the one mentioned in personal remarks- the creeping buttercup- cause it does look weedy and is spreading from when I first planted it! Thanks for your help, Cynthia!Helpful Reply

Mary lou palumbo on Jun 21, 2013I inherited these in my garden when we moved. They will take over. They can get pretty large and look unkempt. I pulled most of them up! But everyday I go out and pull more up!Helpful Reply

Judy on Jun 22, 2013Irma, you do NOT have the invasive, Creeping Buttercup! This webpage has a good picture of the creeping one (2nd picture down): http://gardenmentors.com/garden-help/weeds/managing-buttercup-weeds/ ....see, it's nothing like yours....but if you ever see the creeping ones dig them out immediately or they'll take over your garden! I know because I'm battling them here.Helpful Reply

Ivylore on Jun 22, 2013Thanks Judy! I looked at the site and did a little more research. They do look a little different, so hopefully I don't have the invasive one. Appreciate your help!Helpful Reply
