I was at an herb workshop this weekend and someone asked whether there was any medicinal value in buttercups. The answer was no, but I take issue with that answer. I think just looking at the near blinding brightness of their petals has healing power similar to the sun. Especially during gray springs such as this one.
I remember in elementary school we used to play some kind of game that involved twirling a buttercup under our chins. I can't remember why, but part of the reason was to see the way the bright yellow was reflected on our skin.
I can't think of a brighter flower, like a little light box.
That's beautiful, I agree :)
