This plant can be seen in fields, along roadsides, and it grows around all four sides of the foundation of my barn. If you break the stem it oozes yellow-orange sap, which is a latex. The American Indian used the sap as a dye. Some gardening articles recommended wearing gloves when picking or removing Celandine because the sap can be caustic. It seems that all through out history it was used to cure one thing or another.....Where I found it : At the foot of the barn's foundation
