The tyranny of the buttercups: Lovely, and taking over the Philly region with a big assist from the weather Anthony R. Wood, The Philadelphia Inquirer © JOSE F.

In a splendidly colorful and vibrant spring orchestrated by a fortuitous alignment of weather circumstances, the innocuously named “fig buttercup” is having the time of its life, decorating stream banks, hillsides, and yards with flowers “bright as the sun, himself,” in the words of William Wordsworth.
