Beautiful! 8)

Oh! Oron's lovely yellow R. asiaticus pic just vanished! :(
-
Ah, it's been moved to a new ranunculus thread for 2012. :)
-
Nearly had you fooled there, Martin.... glad you've caught up with my moves. ;D
super plant, isn't it?
-
Stunning.
-
Thought there was a thread for Ranunculus but can't find it.
First flower opened on Ranunculus asiaticus
-
I've moved your post to that thread, Roma.
Lovely clear yellow on that flower.
-
Thanks, Maggi. A newly opened flower. It will get paler.

Absolutely lovely, Roma.

I cant do better than those stunners and I wish I could.
Ranunculus montanus double form. It has struggled for years since I got it producing a single stem every year but not this year ...
-
Ooooh, Roma - are they real? :)
-
Just beautiful, Roma.
-
Ranunculus asiaticus just starting to flower. I let them freeze in the hard winter and so they have not done well this year and a lot were lost but they have been kept frost free this winter to help them recover.
-
Beautiful, Tony.
-
What super pix, Tony. Easy to see why these plants are so popular to paint and stitch, as well as grow.
-
Another couple of Ranunculus asiaticus
-
Ranunculus asiaticus is in its best in Jordan at the moment.
Only the red form is growing there.
Here are some photos of it.
-
Utterly magnificent ... many thanks for posting such evocative images, Oron.
-
Just found this thread. Tony I love the white Ranunculus. I got a couple from Darren. One is growing really well. Hopefully I will get a flower next year. Something to look forward to.
Angie :)

Oron , what a sight: Ranunculus asiaticus and Iris haynei - you are fortunate to live in this part of the world .
-
A ranunculus sp. I collected in central Turkey. It has finely divided leaves and a tuber like R. asiaticus and is summer dormant.

Tony that is really nice does anybody know what sp it is?

Last year I showed a flower from a semi double Ranunculus I got from an old garden. Its back and again the flowers are semi double.
Assuming its Ranunculus speciosus/constantinopolitnus there is only one cultivar in the Plant Finder. This is the fully double form that I grow already. Tomorrow I'll take side by side photos
-
Only just realised Tony has posted a photo of a lovely buttercuop.
This is my semi double buttercup
-
One of my 'mongrel' asiaticus seedlings.
It hurts my eyes!!
I don't think it is virussed as I've seen plenty of similar seedlings when colour forms are crossed, but none with such a clear delineation between a strong red outer and yellow inner.
I'm not sure I like it to be honest, it is approaching 'vulgar' - but at least it isn't double or I'd have binned it already..
-
Vulgar! It's a beauty
-
Darren
one has come up that is identical in the pot of collection ex Mt Hermon you gave me, the rest are red.
Very nice thank you.
-
Can someone ID this tall airy Ranunculus? It is chalky white and the upper flower is 13 inches 34 cm. The flowers are scented.
I'm wondering if I can cross this with parnassifolius
-
Looks to me like R. pyrenaeus (see Wrightman's website for comparison image), Mark ... but (apart from the scent ... perhaps), WHY ON EARTH would you wish to hybridise these two gloriously individual buttercups?
-
Thanks Cliff. Hybridising just popped in to my head
-
Wrightman says http://www.wrightmanalpines.com/category/genus/ranunculus (http://www.wrightmanalpines.com/category/genus/ranunculus)
Upright lance-like leaves with flowering stems to 15cm bearing several pure white flowers, each ~ 2cm across; grows very easily and endures drought.
Mine is too tall and doesnt have pure white lowers
-
? Ranunculus amplexicaulis
This originated from Jack Drake's nursery. My original plants were a semi double and one with a pink tinge but I do not have the pink one now.
-
Roma yours look like mine but your plants look short. What height are yours? are they tinged with cream and are they sweetly scented?
edit to say I looked at yours again and they are tinged with cream
-
I'm just home from doing a bat survey - not that you need to know that - on farm land. I found a large area where all the Ranunculus acris have black leaves. The best one is home with me but I pulled all the leaves off for try and keep moisture in the growing point. In a few weeks I'll go back and take photos.
Does anyone know how common is the black leaved R. acris? I grow Hedgehog which has black leaves and lemon flowers.
-
I can't detect any scent from my Ranunculus amplexicaulis, Mark. The pics were taken in 2008 but they are flowering now. They are about 20cms high. It does not grow from a bulb (as far as I remember).
-
OK. Mine are definitely scented. I'm only guessing, from last year, that mine had small R. asiaticus type tubers
-
two big close ups
Ranunculus sp. - This appeared in a raised bed this year. I hope it's not R. repens
Ranunculus acris Citrinus - looking great just now. It's amazing how quickly they take off after division
-
I got round to splitting up a pot of Ranunculus amplexicaulis seedlings today. It is two or three years since they germinated. They do not have a 'claw' like R. asiaticus but more of a fleshy root not unlike a small Roscoea.
-
regrets, regrets
Yesterday I saw a lovely cream flowered Ranunculus bulbosum growing among 1000s of normal yellow ones. Did I photograph it? No. Did I bring it in to cultivation? No. Damn!
I did see a plant that had double flowers
