The Marsh Marigold is another spring flower familiar from childhood.
The ones in the photo grow in the stream just across the road from my house, near a little brick bridge which you can see in the photograph.
The flower-name is in the great Oxford English Dictionary. Its earliest known occurrence is from 1578:
The small Celandyne, and the Braue Bassinet, or Marsh Marigold, do grow in moyst medowes.
(Lyte's translation from the original Dutch of Dodoens' Niewe Herball.)
