About the Buttercup

Buttercups belong to the genus Ranunculus, a large group of nearly two thousand species. They are best known for small, glossy yellow flowers that seem to shine in the sun. Their petals have a waxy surface that reflects light, which is why they gleam so brightly. Color this printable a cheerful yellow, and hold a real one under a friend's chin to see the glow.
