Meadow's yellow bloom
Goldcup is a common name for buttercups, the bright yellow wildflowers of the genus Ranunculus.
The name refers to the cup-shaped blossoms with their glossy, golden petals: The meadow was dotted with goldcups.
Children hold buttercups under their chins to see the yellow reflection, supposedly indicating a love of butter.
