In the words of my "master gardener" father: to determine if a plant is
a weed: "Pull it out by the roots; if it comes back, it's a weed."

Looks to me like Coptis groenlandica, commonly known as Goldthread. As usual,
I could be wrong.

And exactly what is a weed, anyway? My definition is that it's any plant
growing where I don't want it. If I found an orchid in my strawberry patch,
it'd be a weed.
As for your photo -- well done.
