 | It includes the buttercups, spearworts, water crowfoots and the lesser celandine (but not the greater celandine of the poppy family Papaveraceae). |
 | Buttercups usually flower in April or May but flowers may be found throughout the summer especially where the plants are growing as opportunistic colonisers as in the case of garden weeds. |
 | An old superstition says that if you hold a buttercup under your face, and yellow light is reflected on your face, it means that you like butter. |
