buttercup

Meadow's golden bloom

Buttercup is a common wildflower with bright yellow, glossy petals, found in meadows and fields.

Children hold buttercups under each other's chins—a yellow reflection supposedly proves you like butter.

As a term of endearment, buttercup suggests someone sweet and delicate: Come on, buttercup, let's go.
