So, anyone know what this sucker is?

As already said, Kerria japonica. I'm not aware that there's more than
one double variety, but it doesn't look exactly the same as the Kerria
japonica 'Pleniflora' that I grow.

Knowing the name now, I did a bit of searching, and turned up another photo
(from IL or MI) which matches the orange+white coloring of my plant.

Plant databases and botanical databases aren't always helpful with
double-flowered forms. This particular species was first known to
science as the double-flowered form, as was misclassified as a Corchorus
(jute) until the wild form was discovered.

Until now, I wouldn't even know to call it a double-flowered form.

Thanks for the info.
