Your lovely ranunculus looks like R. parnassifolius from the image and your description, Mark.
R. crenatus, R. parnassifolius and R. alpestris will all tolerate and even enjoy a gritty limestone medium.

just went out to take these photos of R. parnassifolium showing the leaves

Ever thought of Anemone nemerosa as a crevice plant? I have by accident. A recycled pot contents actually contained this lovely Anemone. This Anemone is coming up through approx 12 inches 30cm  of rocks and sand. This could be their last year. I sprayed a dandelion with roundup but didnt notice the tiny new growths. They are now yellow and the flowers re white

Which Anemone is it?

I've seen it in other forms of R. ficaria. I have no real idea why it should happen... (but am not convinced it's a sun thing).

Mark, the pale blue nemorosa looks like 'Robinsoniana'. The other common pale blue, 'Allenii' has red-flushed backs to the petals. 'Robinsoniana' doesn't.
