Lesley

I googled for Ranunculus gerryoides to get further info - not recognised.  Can you provide a few details of area in which it grows etc.  Thanks

I didn't named him. I think Lesley did it....

To much rain last night so no biking in the mountains today.

After the miserable Sunday when we had more than 5 cm of snow that did not disappear, the forecasters appeared to have got the forecast of sleet until Thursday wrong. ;D ;D ;D

Thank you for sharing your lovely pictures with us Stellan it is so good to see the fantastic plants that you and Gerry find.
I hope the rain clears soon so you can continue your explorations.

I'll look forward to that Arthur :)

If Luc hadn't given the game away, I would have said that R. gerryoides was a wide ranging species originating in Africa but well establish in Sweden and now thought to be spreading widely in Iran. Every plant a beauty to be treasured. ;D
