Have you seen that lovely little advert on tele, for Anchor butter, I think.

The young man hands a buttercup to a young lady in a car, she in turn hands it to an older lady in a bus stop, who hands the buttercup to a young man getting on the bus, and he hands it to a young lady on the bus, it's lovely, all smiles and happiness.

Walking down to the shops today I thought, I'll try that.

The lady that was approaching me had a nice face, I bent down and plucked the plant from the grass verge, I thought for a moment that I could see the bright yellow petals reflected on her face, she smiled, and said, "Bugger off".

It may have been the fact that there are no buttercups around, I had to offer a dandelion.
