Buttercup flowers

I cant recall a time when i've seen so many flowering buttercups in lawns/grass areas.
Has anyone else noticed this??

 

I think its because more and more people are going for wildflower meadow seed mixes. Not necessarily in their lawns, but as councils adopt them in public spaces, surely the seeds must get about (not sure how buttercup seeds move, do birds do it or are they wind borne?).

 

My lawn has been covered in them and more dasies than last year too.

Do you still do the "do you like butter" thing, my lad does it every time we're in the garden.

I quite like having them in the lawn, it's the clover that's getting out of hand.

 

What is a plantain gun? In fact, what is a plantain?

 

I'm familiar with them now, but didn't know their name. When I was little, my gran called them 'Lady's heads', though I'm not sure why. The only game I knew of was similar to conkers, in that two participants get one each and you bash them together with the aim of knocking your opponent's head off while keeping your own (flower head that is). The gun thing sounds miles more fun though.

 

There's no daisies, buttercups or plantains in my lawn. There are one or two dandylions though.
