What are the differences in the needs of Adonis vernalis and Adonis amurensis?

Bernd, here in our garden in Belgium, Adonis vernalis needs more sun than Adonis amurensis. Both like humus and permeable soil.

 Thanks :-)

I have never seen Adonis vernalis[/ i] in natura; that's wonderful!
I may have a shade problem, but also slugs, alas.
 what is extraordinary is how it looked like Paeonia tenuifolia, when it  was only flowering here. With its terminal button, only the shade of green of the foliage differentiated it, then obviously the flower afterwards.

 I must undoubtedly change its place: before it grows again this spring?

  are you growing Adonis amurensis outdoors?
 I like these plants which bloom in winter, but here their winter flowers are often damaged by the rain.

wild Ranunculus flore pleno

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?

here are the photos of the plant at the moment,
 the one in the ground
then a 'bulb' that I transplanted into a pot during its rest period in August: a little enriched soil makes it make larger leaves (10 cm pot)

Véronique, if there is no frost I would change the place of Adonis vernalis (take a big clump).
At the moment following Adonissen are in the garden without winter protection: Adonis amurensis, Adonis amurensis ‘Plena’, Adonis amurensis 'Fukujukai', Adonis brevistyla, Adonis cyllenea, Adonis amurensis 'Hime Shinano', Adonis multiflora, Adonis vernalis, Adonis volgensis.
I already use now slug pellets around the place were the Adonnissen stand to protect the buds. In the garden there can also be some damage at the flowers in spring when there is too much rain.

Thank you for these beautiful photos Yann.
 it is sometimes spotted with brown, but it's not R. acris, that's for sure, I have this one too, and its vegetative cycle is not at the same period.

 the leaf is less cut up than serpens, which would rather give R nemorosus, then, as my friend from the botanical garden suggested to me (with a description without seeing it!)
 (I arrived in serpens with my local flora, but I must have been wrong)

answer is few months with flowers and fruits pods

Herman's Adonis amurensis 'Chichibu Beni' is wonderful colour!

A. Amurensis should be grown in a greenhouse?

Here normal A.amurensis grows well outside in my woodland beds, semishade, and they flower when spring comes in April. They are very hardy, I think.
I had once A.vernalis, it grew in sunny spot but died in one wet winter. It flowered a month later than A.adonis.

Lena, Adonis vernalis flowers here in April.

Herman, what is the order when your Adonis flower? Do orange ones flower before normal A.adonis?

Leena, anyway they need sunlight to open, the last days it was dark weather, so the flowers stay closed.
In the garden, here are the flowering Months and the order:
Adonis amurensis (January), Adonis amurensis 'Hime Shinano' (February), Adonis multiflora (February), Adonis amurensis 'Fukujukai' (February), Adonis amurensis ‘Plena’ (March), Adonis cyllenea (April), Adonis volgensis (April), Adonis vernalis (April), Adonis brevistyla (May).
