I love buttercups Witzend and I am very envious of your tortoise.

I have them and all over my garden and every other wild flower in my garden.

is that a real tortoise? I was bit by my cousin's tortoise which someone later stole from their garden

I love buttercups too, they seem to be in abundance this year

I love buttercups too, weeds they may well be, but they remind me of my childhood, I quite like wild flowers and that uncultivated look myself.

Is it real ??? I had one once many years ago, he or she, we never quite discovered was called Shelley, after the poet my parents thought they were being clever

Not real, he’s a prehistoric one (no vet’s bills!) cast in bronze. We found him outside a little metal-worker’s shop in France - he’d been there the previous year, too, so we thought it was time he had a new home. ?

I’ve always been fond of tortoises - apart from goldfish my first pet was a tortoise called Timmy. My father always called him Percy Bysshe though.

I love buttercups too. Cheerful little flowers. We had 2 tortoises when we were children, Tommy and Tammy.

Oh I love buttercups, and have fond memories of childhood hiding in them: how tall they must have been!

This is my local common, lovely x

I do like Spike O'Saurus and missing having a tortoise in the garden, must hunt for another one.

We have a lot of cinquefoil in an area of lawn which we don't cut, it's similar to buttercup but spreads too.
It's looking very pretty at the moment.
