        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.
