Spring Gold
One of the very earliest plants to bloom on our prairies, though it lasts quite a bit longer than some others. The scientific name is Lomatium Utriculatum. It's a fun plant as the heads start out very tiny and just keep getting larger as the season progresses.

7D, 300mm +1.4TC hand held lying on the ground. The ferny looking leaves in the foreground are this plant.
