These little flowers make me want to break out in rowdy song.

The originator of the raucous tune swimming around in my head was the band The Foundations, who found their inspiration in its diminutive yellow blooms. I know that you can’t help but sing loud; you know the words!

Buttercup baby just to

let me down (Let me down)

And mess me around
