I don't think I have eaten a flower.

Then I was little I was told not to eat dandelions as they make you wee!!

Dandelion is from the French 'dent de lion' or Lion's teeth.

we used to call dandelions wet the beds.

Yes, my mother always said if I picked them I would wet the bed. The myth is so wide spread there must be an element of truth in it. perhaps they are good diretics? (I'm sorry, I don't think I can spell that one!)

What about the story that if buttercups reflect off your chin you like butter?

Absolutely correct about dandelions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dandelion

Sorry to say one of my cats loves butterflies (and moths, she can't
tell the difference), very common sight to find a few remains from her
murderous activity strewn about the bath

Bounty, have you ever seen a Diamond Dove, I used to keep them.

I have seen a Ground Dove in USA, which is rather similar

Bounty that puffin picture is wonderful! I'm really jealous as I've always had a thing about puffins and despite going to Lundy Island and Flanborough Head I've only ever seen them as distant specks in the sea.
