|Meadow Buttercup||Buttercup family| Meadow buttercup is a
common flower in meadows. It has a bright yellow flower, with a
slightly burnished appearance caused by light reflecting from
starch grains within the structure of the petals. The flowers
are visited by small bees, hoverflies and other insects. Slight
differences in the time of ripening of stamens and stigmas
favour cross-pollination. |Side-on view of flower, showing hairy
