I thought I knew what this was, but after letting it grow some I'm not sure. any ideas ?

Looks like buttercup. If so, its toxic.

Look like yellow poppies, but I'm not 100% sure.

You're right, looks more like buttercup than poppies.

I found it, I didn't know there were so many different types of buttercup. that's what I thought is was at first, but it has different leaves from what I remember. Thanks

Len, this is wild buttercup. I have it growing everywhere on my place. The information I have on it is a sulcata death reported when the owners deliberately fed a quantity of the flowers. Typically, my sulcata, and russian tortoises ignore it, but I do not allow it to bloom in their areas.

I THOUGHT it looked like a ranunculus like my mom used to grow...now I KNOW buttercups are related to them

I found 3 plants in the front yard and none anywhere in the back yard, but the lot next to me and the happy clam property in front are both loaded with it, at a quick glance they look like dandelion blooms, which I have a bumper crop of this spring. I saw the thread about russians eating buttercup in the wild, so I might offer some leaves to the russians, since they are imports just to see if they are interested in it. There are some plants in their pen that they show no interest in as of yet, but we haven't really warmed up, 60s day 40s night.I feed a lot of listed toxic plants to my manouria but I know more about their natural diet than the russian tortoise natural diet,(still learning)
