The hermaphrodite flowers are single or in a cyme, have usually five (but occasionally as few as three or as many as seven) mostly green sepals and usually, five yellow, greenish or white petals that are sometimes flushed with red, purple or pink (but the petals may be absent or have a different, sometimes much higher number). Flowers come in white, cream, and many shades of yellow, orange, red, and pink. Popular Tecolote Giant strain is available in single colors, mixed colors, and picotees. Bloomingdale strain offers the same range of colors on dwarf plants 810 inches high. All types are good in the ground or in pots. White Buttercup's botanical name is Beesia, and it's a fantastic shade-loving ground cover. It makes a great filler for woodland gardens, and really, anywhere you can't get sun-loving grass to grow. Especially handy in zones 6 and south, as it's evergreen in warmer zones. It's a year-round easy-care shade solution—what could be better?

Your nose grazing my shoulder. Clothes petaling free.
Only your neck. Only my ear. Soft and perennial.
I fold your t-shirts and leave them in stacks
around the room. Television garden.
I show you a wild rash across my elbow:
red speckled, Jackson-Pollocking across skin.
You show me your favorite scar: a tributary
crossing your forearm. I remember a morning
where you told me to show you
my flesh. We drove the green car
and the stop lights blistered all the way.
You told me I was a sidewalk aberration
and I fed you spoonfuls of butter
to slow your mouth down. I removed the fork
all by myself and you never saw the mark it left.
The dinner plate steering wheel, all set for feasting.
I was your favorite wound.

Water Buttercup control, 2 good options.

Water Buttercup, Water Crowfoot (ranunculus aquatilis), is one perennial weed in the Buttercup family that has 360 different species. It can be found world-wide in the quiet waters of ponds, in ditches and along the shoreline of lakes and slow moving streams.

Water Buttercup is eaten by a variety of waterfowl and fish. It also provides habitat for aquatic insects.

It has 2 distinct types of leaves. Submersed leaves are alternately attached, fan-shaped with fine thread-like leaves that collapse when removed from the water. Floating leaves, when present, are flat and have 3-5 scalloped lobes. It has a single flower on a stiff stalk that rises above the water surface. The flower has a yellow center and 5 white petals that bloom from April to August.

Water Buttercup propagates from seeds and stem fragments.

Water Buttercup can grow in thick dense mats that will restrict water recreation including boating, swimming and fishing.

Physical removal and chemical treatment are 2 good options.

1) Physical removal can be easily obtained by cutting or raking out all the weed fragments.

2) Chemically control area with diquat.

Diquat mixed with a non-ionic surfactant is an excellent fast-acting contact option. Addition of copper ethanolamine will often improve effectiveness in difficult to control areas.

We recommend, 6 oz. of Harvester Liquid with 3 oz. CYGNET PLUS Liquid or combine 4 oz. of Harvester Liquid, 4 oz. of CUTRINE-PLUS Liquid and 3 oz. of CYGNET PLUS Liquid. Add enough water to the concentrate to make 1½ gallons of spray solution. 1½ gallons of solution will treat 1,000 sq. ft. (100’ x 10’). It is best to treat before flowering. Repeat treatment may be needed to make good contact with all the foliage.
