Creeping buttercups spread by creeping stems that grow quickly sideways.
Every few days they touch ground and a new plant starts to grow as the
stolon creeps onward. That's how they conquered Europe, Asia and Africa
so they'll have your lawn in a few months.
They reached Australia and the Americas by another reliable method of
weed transport: garden centres. Why wait for weeds to arrive by
accident when you can pay actual money for them?

Hehe, you make it sound as if they are fire breathing aliens :-)
I grow a large butler's sink full of them, they're very pretty.
If they get over enthusiastic in the garden I pull them out, no problem,
they come out very readily.
Why do you dislike wild plants so much?
