Buttercup Yellow Elegance Ranunculus

The word buttercup exists in the English language solely to describe the specific yellow of a flower held under a child's chin to determine whether they like butter, which is a diagnostic test so charming and so completely useless that I think about it more than is probably healthy. The Buttercup Yellow Elegance Ranunculus has claimed this color — all one hundred of its layered petals — and made it the warmest, most abundantly cheerful thing in any room it occupies. We made it ceramic. The cheerfulness is now structural.
