Re: buttercup?

My plant has leaves that look more like the oenothera fructicosa that Pat
suggested.  I checked the pictures of the stylophorum diphyllum.  The
flowers are different and the leaves are long and slender--not like the
celandine or the ranunculus acris.  Brenda  Z5 KY  (I'll try to give a
better description when it blooms or take a picture.)
