Looks somewhat like Kerria japonica "pleniforma" (or a mix of the single and double form of Kerria). It's not native to the US, but gets around.

so far as I know, not particularly invasive.

Which reminds me that I really ought to get grub out those now-overshaded privets and plant an informal line of Kerria in its place...
