Unsung hero

Very pretty, no beetles showing themselves here, I keep checking and if I spot them they'll get the order of the boot, lol..

No Lily Beetles here....but I did see a ladybird yesterday! :) love celandines!

its only a weed if you do not want it growing where it is. I have many British natives/wildflowers in the garden deliberately as well as some that are weeds for me.
I have a small area where I allow lesser celandine to flower; it is such a pretty flower.

Celandines - glorious in the sun but here definitely a thug. All over the lawn and spreading fast. Popping up in the flower beds no matter how often I dig them out. the tiniest bit of root left in will grow again.

Are they just a lovely Ray of of sun shine those Celandines gorgeous Daffodils too. Glad to hear you caught the lily beetle before it could cause damage.

Celandines are a real harbinger of Spring, so cheerful. I have tried to grow them (everyone gasp in horror) but they are not keen where I have planted them so far. The Geese and chickens probably haven't helped with either eating them or scrapping them up. I agree Stera that they aren't wanted in the lawn - my bugbear on that one is the creeping Potentilla. Celandines remind me of being a child when all the hedge banks were covered in them and other wild flowers - very few now, including the hedges and banks!

I too like Celandines, but they do tend to appear where you don't want them !

We have creeping potentilla in the lawn as well Honeysuckle, and bugle too. And primroses - today OH very cleverly mowed round them, but the celandines got the chop - they'll be back... Up on the cliffs a few years ago on a glorious sunny day, we saw a patch of shining celandines right next to a big patch of dog violets, with blue sky and blue sea as background. Once seen never forgotten-

Oh lucky you with primroses, I've tried all sorts to get them going in my garden, no luck at all, I even went to someone's garden & dug her excess out of the lawn to put in mine, I never saw them again :-(

Same with forget me nots, grow like weeds some places, not in my garden despite my efforts.

I think it's as many say, plants will grow where they are happy to be
