The buttercups that we planted when I was a kid, were low to the ground, came in clusters of yellow flowers with dense petals, each flower head about an inch or so across, briiliant colour. Just love them.

Kevin, when I was offered digestive biscuits in the home of an English classical pianist who taught at University of Massachusetts, they reminded me of what we call graham crackers. Very tasty dipped in milk or with melted chocolate drizzled all over them.

Here's a great page of photos of dandelions in various stages of flowering. Take a look and let us know if they look the same as yours, okay, Kevin?

Here is one of a wild buttercup, which is taller and single-petaled rather than multi like the ones I mentioned.

I am going to start a thread on flowers, so we can do some more comparisons. Be sure to check it out, as I will start it with a link to one of my favourite botanic gardens at Smith College, in Massachusetts.
