Akimz, thanks I just added this to your mission.

Hi Tom15, We would love to have this spotting be a part of our mission on the distribution of native and invasive look-alike buttercups. The marsh marigold looks similar to the lesser celandine and many people get them confused. Your spotting would make a good contribution! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/19316030
