Ranunculus id

[Magnar]

Can anybody please help me with a name for this Ranunculus:



The photo shows the actual size of the plant.

it might be Ranunculus glacialis, but I'm not certain.

I have R. galcialis from the mountains close to the Swedish border, and it looks quite different from this one. The flowers are smaller and the foliage is also different.

Ranunculus seguieri?

100% Ranunculus seguieri Magnar.  I grow four or five different forms of R. seguieri and your example is most like plants found near Falzarego in the Dolomites.  See the attached image of my Farrer plant and a plant captured in the Falzarego area.

Excellent photos Cliff.  The Farrer Medal plant is stunning.

I always thought that plants were "collected" from the wild, not "captured".    Sort of gives you visions of mad rampaging Ranunculus that'll take your hand off if you aren't careful. 

Great to see you have an ID Magnar.  It has such clean and perfect flowers!!

Thanks for the id. Always good to have a name. That plant must have been planted last year, but I can not recall anything about where I got it, and there was no label to help me.

Thanks again

Dear God, they are beautiful!
