Need help identifying this plant

Charlevoix County Michigan

Expert Response

The common name for this North American native is wood poppy or celandine poppy. (Stylophorum). Commonly found in moist woodland areas, it spreads when seeds pop out of the hairy pod. I have found that this plant comes up in the most unexpected locations and is easy to remove by hand if not wanted.
