This yellow flower is a delight to see because it is a precursor to a tasty treat--the golden currant (Ribes aureum). This member of the Gooseberry Family (Grossulariaceae) is common along wet areas. 
In a few weeks, the flowers will fall off and a small fruit will grow. It is bright red when it is ripe.
Golden currant often grows in close association with Woods' rose (Rosa woodsii), another plant that likes moist areas or a shallow water table.
