Lesser Celandine

It seems so fine
that celandine
and sunshine
so perfectly rhyne.

Damn! - it happens all the time:
a typo! - I, of course, mean rhyme!

Inspired by BowBelle I've given this a toning border.

PS I've just been investigating the difference between Lesser and Greater Celandines, and it seems that the one blipped here, the Lesser Celandine, with the heart-shaped leaves, is bigger, and has more petals, than the tiny four-petalled Greater Celandine. Isn't that strange!

PPS I now understand: the lesser celandine is a Ranunculus ficaria,  a member of the buttercup family, whereas the greater celandine is Sanguinaria canadensis, a member of the poppy family. Their similarity is their common names and the fact they're both yellow. The leaves are completely different.
