Hi all,

I took this picture the other day in Miami, FL, and I'm trying to
identify the flower. If anyone has any idea as to what it might be,
please let me know!

Thanks!

Its the original single flowered form of Kerria japonica.

Too bad if my answer isn't considered scientific enough or common sense
enough for a primadonna troll like Alice but that's what your plant is
none-the-less.

And if you ask me, far more beautiful than the double version seen almost
exclusively around here.

Certainly is! I've never seen one grown, though.

Maybe so, but I really enjoy the double flowered version. The shrub appears
as if it's covered with yellow pompoms and is every bit as floriferous and
hardy. I guess it's a matter of taste.

A dissenting opinion. Turnera ulmifolia

How many stamens does Kerria have? I can't find many pictures of the
single Kerria but it appears to have many stamens, this flower has 5

Good observation. Yes, Kerria does have many stamens;
it is in the Rose Family (Rosaceae)
