Good luck, kot - as Cliff says - there are a lot of people who would love to grow these plants from seed - the sources of these seeds are pretty  much invisible, if they exist at all.

I understand I should have stayed for 3 months instead of only 3 weeks. Could have earned a fortune ;)

You have to build a big heap of coarse sand and rock  while waiting!

I wouldn't mind having one of these, either.   ;D Ranunculus weberbaueri is such a oddly cute flower.

I agree, Saori - it  looks more like a  little trollius, I think - sweet thing.
 
I learn that R. weberbaueri  has two  synonyms : Krapfia weberbaueri Standl. & J.F. Macbr.    and
Rhopalopodium weberbaueri Ulbr.

Some great detailed photos in this paper ( in Spanish ) http://www.scielo.org.pe/scielo.php?pid=S1727-99332013000300006&script=sci_arttext

Thanks Maggi for the links! They are very interesting to read.  :D I hope that Kot (and any of us who want to try) have a chance to grow one of them someday.  :)
