Ranunculus 2010

[ranunculus]

A digression - And I remember Maurice Chevalier saying "Ah yes, I remember it well." Where? "Gigi" maybe" but I can't remember what it was he remembered.

I REMEMBER IT WELL
From "Gigi" (1958)
(Lyrics : Alan Jay Lerner / Frederick Loewe)


Honore (Maurice Chevalier) & Mamita (Hermione Gingold)

H: We met at nine
M: We met at eight
H: I was on time
M: No, you were late
H: Ah, yes, I remember it well
We dined with friends
M: We dined alone
H: A tenor sang
M: A baritone
H: Ah, yes, I remember it well
That dazzling April moon!
M: There was none that night
And the month was June
H: That's right. That's right.
M: It warms my heart to know that you
remember still the way you do
H: Ah, yes, I remember it well

H: How often I've thought of that Friday
M: Monday
H: night when we had our last rendezvous
And somehow I foolishly wondered if you might
By some chance be thinking of it too?
That carriage ride
M: You walked me home
H: You lost a glove
M: I lost a comb
H: Ah, yes, I remember it well
That brilliant sky
M: We had some rain
H: Those Russian songs
M: From sunny Spain
H: You wore a gown of gold
M: I was all in blue
H: Am I getting old?
M: Oh, no, not you
How strong you were
How young and gay
A prince of love
In every way
H: Ah, yes, I remember it well

Does anyone grow Anemone eranthoides and could spare a tuber?

[Janis Ruksans]

Does anyone grow Anemone eranthoides and could spare a tuber?

I think it is offered by Antoine Hoog (at least was some years ago). I'm not very succesful with it, have only a pair of tubers.

Ah, yes, I remember it well, NOW. Thanks Cliff.

You are an old smoothy Cliff Booker

Clean shaven this very morning, Mr. N. (and less of the 'old' please)?

[Tony Willis]

some different colours in flower. The orange and red one is from Darren.

[Lesley Cox]

The fourth one is very luscious.

[mark smyth]

green with envy over the R. asiaticus

[mark smyth]

I pulled apart my R. acris Hedgehog and have some to spare. Does anyone have forms of R. acris to swap?

[Tony Willis]

a few more Ranunculus asiaticus. I am pleased with the one with the yellow centre which is an unusual form

[angie]

R. asiaticus is amazing I do love the white one

I think you can be pleased with all of them Tony !   
They look great !!

[Darren]

I agree - they all look great Tony. You know, I'd never seen one with a yellow centre until last week in Crete (picture below). Now I see you have one!

Also pictured is the PC clone 'Ken Aslet', though the picture does not do justice to the intensity of the colour of this form, which has a lustrous sheen too.

Then a potful of a white form.
