I think it probably is celandine dugy. toxic they are. also looks like bittercress in there, wide left middle in pic 1 and possibly again on the right edge of the celandine. also dandelion near middle and again at bottom.

also ragwort in there botton right, toxic

Celendine is a tort no no, they don't realy bother with it outside, the young leaves are high in vitamin C, which is odd. It will be gone soon till next Spring.

Actually, its lesser Celandine - Ranunculus ficaria

and yes, it is poisonous.

true Celandine or Greater celandine is Chelidonium majus - a poppy relative and also poisonous.

Definately celandine. I have just had to dig out a raised flower bed which had lots of celandine in as I want to put my torts in there for the summer. I knew it was toxic to torts so tried to get every last bit of celandine out and ended up having to dig out to a depth of about 8 inches of earth because the celandine actually starts growing right down in the soil. I was finding baby plants with long white stems with two leaves already the celandine shape, as far down as 6 inches. I had to put in 10 35 ltr bags of steralised topsoil to replace what I removed. Damn celandine spreads like mad !!
