Solved ID please.

I cannot seem to find a name for this on the internet now it's in flower. The only one that keeps popping up is Iceland poppy? I've looked at the flowers this evening and noticed that they are closing at night. It came with some pots I bought last year so can't ask the previous owner. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Looks closer to a Californian Poppy, but I'm not convinced it's a poppy.

 

There's a variety of Anemone ranunculoides called 'lanciniata' which looks close....

 

That's got 5 petals and the image posted appears to have 6, but I was googling both anemones and ranunculus earlier trying to find a match and there was some anemones with a closer match of leaf but not quite right.

The closest I got was Anemone coronaria (6 petals), but couldn't find one with yellow flowers.

 

Anemones have 5 or 6 petals, poppies 4 or 6, so we're on the right lines.....

 

I am saying its one of the Trollius . Not sure on the variety but Trollius Stenopetalus looks similar.

 

Ranunculus acris seems to come up

 

Call a spade a hole-digging implement....common buttercup?

 

Ranunculus acris made the most sense to me too looking at that foliage, but then I noticed Jasmine's plant has 6 petals and the ranunculus has 5...

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I'm still non the wiser
I have taken more pictures of the plant I have and some from a common buttercup from the allotment this morning. The flowers seem almost identical but the leaves are much different and also including the flower stems mine is nearly 2ft tall.
Here's more of mine.





This is from the allotment.

 

That one at your allotment looks like R. repens (Creeping Buttercup) from the leaf shape.

That would make sence @Nikolaos everything that I don't want to grow is a creeper there

 

That shows a flower with 5 petals, but the image in post #1 showed 6 petals Did you post an image of a deformed flower?


If the flowers have 5 petals it's probably a Meadow Buttercup

 

Both flowers are off the same plant I think you're right though. it is a meadow buttercup
Is it wise to keep it in the border? By that I mean can it be a menace.

Just want to also say thank you everyone for your help
