Creaping Buttercup

Creeping Buttercup
This plant is not indigenous to this part of the world according to Wikipedia.  It has been called invasive but I have not heard it described thusly at Gorman.  It is poisonous and even the sap can cause skin blistering.  The poison is rendered impotent as it dries with hay so the danger to cattle is nil.  Cattle avoid eating it green because of the undesirable, to them, taste.

I seem to remember that it is located near the on-ramp to bridge 3.  Be careful with this plant.  I think this image was captured near the vernal pool where the wood frogs breed.
