Title: Ranunculus ficaria cultivars wanted
Post by: Hans J on March 14, 2007, 01:14:52 PM

Hi all ,

I search in this time culticars of Ran. ficaria - is here maybe anybody who swap with me ?
I grow only few ( Brazen Hussy,Single White,Double Mud), but I can also offer other plants or payment .
Here in Germany are this plants not aviable -so I will try it here .

Many greetings
Hans

Hans, a former member of the Forum, Gwen Black, had a very large collection of Ranunculas ficaria cultivars but she moved house last year and we have heard nothing from her in a long time.
Perhaps Gwen is out there, reading this ? We'll see. I must try to contact her, last time  the email failed.
Mark Smyth is very fond of these buttercups, too, I expect he will have some advice for you to source more types.

Maggi ,

Thank you for your advices - I had before some years a little contact to Gwen Black ( in the old forum ) - but since a long time I have nothing heard . ;

Mark ,

thanks for your impressive list .
Is it possibly to get anything or is this only to make "Long Teeths" ? ;D

Greetings
Hans
