[MAIPC] What grows after lesser celandine dies back ?

[Tayerle, Lisa]

I have an area that is thickly coverer by lesser celandine. But I still have Mayapples, Christmas ferns, Jack-in-pulpits and toothwort coming up through it. Not much else because it is heavily deer browsed. But I have had trouble spraying the LC in the spring because of the number of Mayapples that are poking through.

In sites dominated by lesser celandine in the spring, what grows subsequently in the summer after its tops die down?  If you have observed this, could you please post about it?

Observations over the years as lesser celandine gets dominant on flood plains or moist slopes with spring wildflowers would be especially helpful.

If invasion by lesser celandine favors invasion of other unwanted plants, this could help in arguing for control of it in natural areas by winter spraying (an idea which may be hard to sell to managers of natural areas).
