Joakim,
Yep, I really must apologise. I must have been having a seniors moment and inserted Hepatica mentally when you wrote Anemone nemorosa. <sigh> Maybe I should just keep quiet! LOL
Apologies for the mortal insult! <grin> I HAVE heard mention that Hepaticas are weeds in some parts of the world..... which is understandable when they can grow in the thousands. A kind of nice weed though!!! LOL I covet them very much, but am trying not to go for the Ranunculus ficaria in the same enthusiasm. Unfortunately Mark's lovely pics make it very hard to resist.

That display looks like the array or the common Lesser Celandine which can very quickly infest a damp side of my garden where they require regular removal.
On a related note: a friend just returned from a few days around the UK reported seeing Ranunculus ficaria 'Brazen Hussey' selling at £7 each!
Wow, I should start potting up my self-sown seedlings and make a fortune instead of throwing them into the compost bin.

Mark,
This is a seedling in the garden. The only named variety I grow is R. 'Brazen Hussey'. However, I have absolutely plenty of the native form.

Two in a comparison shot,
R. 'Fried Egg'
(left) and
R. 'Bantams Egg'
which looks slightly more yellow than Mark's at the start of this thread.

Sorry for bringing an old thread alive again from the dead but I do not have enough to start a new thread.
Mark how did it grow with the green backed ficaria?
I found that this year is a good year for R. ficaria.
They are growing so well that they have to be controlled.
I have only the natural occurring ones but saw that some had interesting?! foliage.
Is this due to damage or does often happen.
I also saw the ones with green on the back.
I do not know if this is common or not.
I presume that this will not be my retiering so have to wait to flip the boss of and wait to look for a island to buy. After all even if they would be interesting they do not have snowdrop prices.
Kind regards
Joakim
