Beginner Gardening: butter cups, 1 by Tylersays

In my little part of Virginia, or at least in my family, a "buttercup" is the little waxy, yellow flower that pops up in the yard, four petaled bloom, and you snatch a bloom, hold it under someone's chin to see if they stole some of momma's butter. Supposedly by seeing a "yellowish glow" on said chin. I was always dubious of this method of detection of "butter-theft", even as a child. Sugar cube snatchery maybe, but butter-theft, I don't think so.

That being said, peeps around here will often refer to daffodils as "buttercups".

Is this what you daughter is looking for?
