Ranunculaceae 2020

[Rob-Rah]

This is Aenome pavonina, three years from seed. I hope the flowers extend a bit better than this... while the nodding is cute, I prefer straighter more upright habit. I'd also love a range of different colours,. but I only got one plant germinated out of the batch this was in, and so here we are. I recall fondly walking through the massed flowering of these in Lesvos olive groves......



And this is the first A. blanda in the open garden:

Aha! The pavonina decided to rise to the occasion:

   I thought  it would - so pretty.

One of my A. pavonia, bought from Ashwoods

[Rob-Rah]

I have this lovely thing just starting to open. This is a yellow form of Ranunculuas asiaticus. It has a super orange-crimson blush to the undersides of the petals as well as a good strong yellow on top. this was the only plant to germinate from my seeds, so I hope I can keep it happy. It's two years old now.

Gorgeous.  I have only the scarlet, lovely too, but still a week or two off flowering.

[Véronique Macrelle]

Caltha palustris

Beautiful A. pavonina Véronique

Here's Ranunculus asiaticus from eastern Turkey (JJA  coll.), elegant even in dingy surroundings.

[Yann]

Very nice, asiaticus is so fascinating.

[Véronique Macrelle]

Oh! what a beautiful red

Ranunculus serpens 'Flore pleno',found and harvested in a meadow not far away.
I am delighted by its port and its robustness.
 I determined the species myself with several flora, I hope it's good. It has a large tuber.

[Mariette]

It´s good that You mention the tuber - this hints to R. bulbosus.

[Herman Mylemans]

Adonis amurensis 'Chichibu Beni' can't wait till 2021!

acris (flora pleno also exist) i think. serpens had a very short and dense hairs on large leaves. Do you've a photo of mature leaves?

[Véronique Macrelle]

Adonis amurensis 'Chichibu Beni' is so beautiful; A. Amurensis should be grown in a greenhouse?
 I have been trying to grow Adonis vernalis for several years; but I can't get it to bloom.

the small double-flowered wild Ranunuculus: I don't have a photo of leaves right away, but it is currently in leaves in the garden, unlike R. acris. so I could take a picture.
in the fall, (without seeing her) a botanist friend told me that it would be R. nemorosus, rather than Serpens which would be very limited in distribution, from where I found it. (Aine)

Véronique, Adonis vernalis likes to have some sun to flower well!
