Marsh Marigolds
Marsh marigolds, cowslips or caltha palustris are lovely yellow blooming plants that grow in shallow water near marshy or swampy areas. A few years ago we ventured into the swampy, mucky area close to our house to dig a clump of these lovely flowers. The plants grow 45 to 60 cm. high and the flowers are about 4 cm. across. We successfully transplanted it into a swampy area in our garden which is also home to cat tails, and other types of wetland grasses.

Hmmmm. . . I think I have the perfect spot for some of these. Thanks for the great idea!
I think marsh marigolds are quite lovely though I don't currently have a place for them.
Those seem to grow wild in swampy areas all around here in northern Saskatchewan. I don't have any damp areas to plant them in my yard though!
