Yellow Flower ID Please - Nanaimo

Hello
This shot was taken on March 31, 2007 in the Nanaimo area. I would appreciate it if someone was able to provide it's identity.

I am sorry but I don't recall any other information. I hope this shot is sufficient for an ID.

Thanks
Stew

 

Ranunculus spp.

 

Sorry, don't know, but not Ranunculus, it doesn't have the conspicuous cluster of carpes that that has, also the petals are too narrow for any of the 5-petalled species I've ever seen.

 

It does help to have more of the plant in the photo for ID, but it is possibly a Bidens sp.

 

Just to confirm - this was growing in the wild as opposed to a cultivated area?

 

I'm sticking with Ranunculus. Compare this.

 

hello

I agree with Tipularia

how about celandine Ranunculus ficaria http://www.naturfotograf.com/UV_RANU_FIC.html

its not a bidens

 

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I must apologize, I totally forgot that I had posted this image.

Yes Daniel, it was located in a disturbed area along the Nanaimo Parkway. I think that tipularia identified it correctly. The image is identical.

I am trying to identify images correctly before putting them up on my website so I really appreciate your help in identification.

cheers
