Description
A gorgeous Buttercup flower that I captured in an abstract form. I love this bright orange image that will catch the eye of anyone that sees it.
The name Ranunculus is Late Latin for "little frog," the diminutive of rana. This probably refers to many species being found near water, like frogs.[2]
The name buttercup may derive from a false belief that the plants give butter its characteristic yellow hue (in fact it is poisonous to cows and other livestock). A popular children's game involves holding a buttercup up to the chin; a yellow reflection is supposed to indicate fondness for butter.[3]
In the interior of the Pacific Northwest of the United States the buttercup[clarification needed] is called "Coyote�s eyes" � ?icey�eyenm s�lu in Nez Perce and spilyaynm� �ca� in Sahaptin. In the legend Coyote was tossing his eyes up in the air and catching them again when Eagle snatched them. Unable to see, Coyote made eyes from the buttercup.
