Ranunculus ID please
« on: March 30, 2008, 12:01:31 AM »
I would really like to get a name for this buttercup. It came from Matt Bishop in 2007. He may have told me the name but I cant remember. At 5cm tall it's small enough for a trough or pot culture. Maybe I'll lift it for next weekend's Dublin Group show

I thought it was one of your fancy ficaria forms until I noticed the leaves.

Is this the same plant you showed us last year on April 6th Mark?

Possibly. Last year the flower was different.

I noticed, therefore difficult to ID.
Ranunculus repens Pleniflora.

Luit R. repens is the creeping buttercup. This plant has no runners

Mark it would be much easier if you take a picture of the whole plant,
when you ask for some ID.
Only a flower is too little.

I'll slot in a different buttercup for the Ranunculus fans. This leaf belongs to R. acris 'Hedgehog'. I would like a collection of buttercups but not the creeping/runnings species

If you hadn't told me different, Mark, I'd have thought that hedgehog leaf to be a geranium!  :-[

As to those little yellow european jobs..... and  the ficaria types.... I expect I shouldn't really say that they are as fascinating to me as the yellow drabas.... only more bother in the lawn! :P

When I see them in the wild, though , I can appreciate that for the natural spectacle it is... as in Gerd's pix from his walk by the  river Wupper today...... http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=1469.msg39169#new


 but aren't the Anemones  the REALLY stunning ranuncs???

wellllll, yes on the drab Drabs. Are you into Geraniums? I'll be dumping some phaeum seedlings that will look good under your trees?
