The petals look too narrow for Ranunculus. There is a definite trifoliate leaf near the bottom a bit in from the ledt hand bottom corner of photo 1. Also a bit to the right of that leaf and upwards towards the bottom flower, what looks like a typical Oxalis seed case.

Thanks Betty. The flowers were waxy, which led me to believe they were Ranunculus, but happy to be corrected.
