Fantastic pictures. For such a meeting I would also freeze with pleasure. I love this Ranunculus. The combination of the yellow blossom with the brown foliage is breathtaking nice. I have some seeds of it in the pot for one year. I give one more season Time to the seeds. Maybe they still, nevertheless, germinate.

Thanks for the nice pictures. With pleasure more of it.

Now just arrived on Stewart Island and I flew over in a plane that takes 9 people plus the pilot- guess who sat next to the pilot? Views were amazing 😃
Also just completed my ambition for this trip to Stewart Island - to see a kiwi and in fact we saw 2
Just arrived back at the accommodation at 1am - so exciting
