Yellow Barrenwort

Epimedium x versicolor 'Sulphureum'

Description:

Spotted in Mona Vale gradens, a tiny flower with heart shaped (slightly) toothed leaves, and small flowers consisted of 4 white/cream sepals, and 4 slightly spured petals, of yellow color. From a distance it looks like some awkward little daffodil, but fellow spotter @DianePlatcoBrooks, gave the right ID suggestion, so now my little flower, is finally named!

This is a lovely little flower. I have the yellow and white, and also pink and white. When the flowers are finished blooming, it's time for the foliage to take center stage.
