Buttercup cousin (5)

I believe the answer is:

peony

(Other definitions for peony that I've seen before include "Herbaceous flower" , "Garden flower" , "Plant with large red, white or pink flowers" , "Bloom" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The Washington Post, the L.A. Times Daily, the Newsday.com and the King Feature Syndicate.
