Ranunculus ficaria ID
« on: March 19, 2011, 02:24:19 PM »
A question for the people who grow Lesser celandines.

I have two cultivars of which I'm not certain about the name:

Firstly 'Green Rim': the leaves look okay but I thought the flowers were supposed to be a normal yellow, mine are green with recurved petals. Is this normal?
And secondly: the plant I got as 'Ken Aslett' looks a lot like 'Picton's Double' or do the flowers turn white after a while?
