ABC Wednesday - Y is for Yellow Buttercup


This yellow buttercup didn't last long after I took this photograph.

Together with the daisies on the lawn, when our jobbing gardeners came on their fortnightly tidying up visit, they mowed it down.

You can see the before and after pictures on Summer Haiku 2008.

To visit more ABC-Wednesday Y posts go to Mrs. Nesbitt's Place.

    Great shot, the colors are wonderful. I remember holding buttercups under our chins as a kid to see if we liked butter.

    Did you ever hold a buttercup to turn your throat Yellow ? I'm not sure why we used to do that or if I did know, I have forgotten.

    It appears a number of us have had tooth woes AND posted yellow flowers for today. We needed them to cheer ourselves up with today's rain.

    Hope you're feeling better soon.
