Not a show-stopper, but with a certain quiet charm- Geranium transversale laciniata

That is a beautiful Ranzania Robin, Does it always flower like this with the flowers in a head?
Mine have not yet started above ground. You must be a month earlier than I am

Göte,

No, it's the first time that my Ranzania does that but it's also the first time that it produces that many flowers.

I haven't looked at this thread for a few days and find so much that is gorgeous and exciting, especially the Podophyllum pleianthum and the Ranzania which I can't germinate, even from fresh seed, though Gote and Ian C have done their best for me. :'(

Ian M, what an amazing garden! It looks very beautiful - even with a lawn ;D. So many lovely things, all in perfect condition. A wonderful sight to come home to, after a break away. :)

Lori, I'm pretty sure your Pulsatilla alpina is, in fact, P. vernalis. Cliff B has shown us so many that its portrait is almost engraved upon my heart, and certainly fixed in my eyes.

Lesley, thank you so much for the ID!  (I do like to know what things are even if I don't know why it is what it is.  :)) As I look at the foliage, I'm sure you are right.  Grew them from seed years ago, and then, moronically, failed to write down what they were!

They form really strange storage 'tubers', which look like they have been extruded rather than grown.

Sounds very un-geranium-like.  ???  Not come across the species before, but I'd grow it for the unusual leaves I think.  Always good to learn something new. ;D

I am almost sure that the last Ranunculus isn't asiaticus because this species has
blackish anthers! But - sorry - no idea what it is.
Gerd
It could possibly be Ranunculus creticus. If it is, it has proved hardier than we imagined and flowered for the first time in many years (we used to grow it in a bulb frame in England).

The flower matches but the leaves look partly divided rather than entire as in creticus. 
Any chance of another pic Simon, showing the leaves & perhaps a side-view of the scape? 
Nice plant anyway 8)
