Come Buttercup, Come Daisy, Come......?

About This Movie

Come Buttercup, Come Daisy, Come......? is a curious little piece from 1965 that meanders through the obsessive world of plant hybridization. The atmosphere is a mix of tension and whimsy, with Henry’s borderline madness creeping in under the tranquil image of his greenhouse. There’s this unsettling undercurrent, as the pacing keeps you guessing whether the plants or the man are the real threat. The practical effects used to depict the strange hybrids are charmingly low-fi, adding to the film’s quirky vibe. Performance-wise, you get this nice juxtaposition between Henry’s fervor and his wife's growing concern, which plays out beautifully in their interactions, hinting at deeper themes of obsession and control. It's definitely one of those oddball TV movies that doesn't get enough recognition.

This film has a bit of a niche following among collectors, often overshadowed by flashier titles from the same era. It was released primarily as a TV movie, which makes physical copies hard to come by, particularly in good condition. Fans of vintage science fiction and oddball cinema tend to seek it out, often trading in whispers at conventions, as it remains a curious artifact of the 60s genre experimentation.
