Lesser Celandine (Ficaria verna) - a photo on Flickriver

IMG_1108
Taken at Burrator Reservoir, part of the South West Lakes Trust, Dartmoor National Park.

It was once thought that you could use lesser celandine to predict the weather as they close their petals before raindrops. The leaves are high in vitamin C and have been used to prevent scurvy.

Wordsworth was such a fan of the lesser celandine, he wrote three poems about them: The Small Celandine, To the Same Flower and To the Small Celandine.
