Sorry, Luit, I never thought to do that until you gave the name and Mark made his link!

This evening I heard from the supplier of the silver haired buttercup

"Ranunculus psilostachys. My former Boss, Christian Kress,
Sarastro-Stauden in Austria, who has a good nursery and is
also good in alpines, gave me this name. I think thats
possible, when I looked at a picture in the web. But its
much nicer than the pictures I found. In the web it looks
like a weed (I still believe it is not!).
greeting from Dublin"

Mark I told my friend Christian , wo has worked in my nursery with alpines during one year, about the same Ranunculus, because he asked me for the name too. Michael Münch asked him for the name and Christian remembered having seen it with me long ago and therefore asked me.
Here is a part of Christian's posting:

Verkauft wurden sie dort in Irland von meinem Freund Michael Münch, der bei mir 3 Jahre lang arbeitete und jetzt noch dieses Jahr bei der Mt.Venus-Nurserie bei Dublin ist.

Translation:
Sold were the plants in Ireland by my friend Michael Münch, who worked for three years in my nursery and now this year is still working for Mt. Venus-Nurseries near Dublin.

ISN'T THIS FORUM WONDERFUL?

[mark smyth]

Yes and it is a very small plant world

Tonight I repotted my Ranunculus psilostachys because it's in pure peat. The warning has to be WEED so keep it confined to a pot. Every root has produced bulbils at the tip

Mark, here some pictures of the questioned  first Ranunculus again.
I think we have both the same plant, only mine is 5 years old
and until now is no creeper at all.
What do you think?

A month after buying Ranunculus ?psilostachys it finally showed a flower today. Hardy any leaves left now. And what a pain in the neck to photograph. None of my two cameras lked it. Only one was in forcus

One plant I was sure it would be Ranunculus asiaticus turned out to be something else, now I think I knew it once but forgot it...

[mark smyth]

Is it as small as it looks?
