Every spring, California buttercup blooms across the grasslands, oak forests, and along creeks of the Bay Area. These brilliant, yellow flowers re-emerge after the rain and provide an early food source for native bees, ants, and butterflies. They are sure to add a pop of color to a sunny meadow or semi-shaded woodland garden.
