Fun Fact:
The globeflower's "globe" shape is made up of ten sepals, rather than petals. The true petals are narrow and contained within the globe.
Identification:
Spherical, lemon-yellow flowers that remain almost entirely closed, like a yellow bud. The plant has deeply cut, palm-like leaves with serrated edges and grows to a height of 30-70 cm in damp, shady locations such as riverbanks, wet meadows, and damp woodlands.
