Kentucky Color: Yellow Spring Flowers Note: Click title for photos of both butterweed and hairy buttercup. By Billy Joe Fudge Each Spring I am inundated with requests for the identity of the Yellow Spring Flowers that in some cases completely cover early to mid spring, barren corn and soybean fields. Most folk automatically assume that it is a crop of some kind. However, depending upon one's perspective, they are either wildflowers or weeds. First is Butterweed. It blooms in early to mid April and grows up to two feet tall. In spite of its weed status, the hundreds and thousands of acres of green and yellow flowers blanketing fields is a breathtaking sight after the dark and colorless drab of winter. However, I understand that it is poisonous to humans, cattle and pets. It might be something to consider in the future. Next is Hairy Buttercup. It germinates in late fall but rarely blooms until late April and early May. It will be a foot to a foot and a half tall and covers many row crop fields as well. It is not native to North America. Although fields of Hairy Buttercup are impressively colorful, since they have to compete with other late spring foliage, they don't quite match the heart pumping visual impact of Butterweed. 2025-05-19 07:48:35 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Kentucky Color by Billy Joe Fudge
