Ranunculus asiaticus

Good morning GTers! I've got a very confused Persian Buttercup flowering at the moment! Have a marvellous Monday everyone! 😀 #ranunculus #yellow

@scaryskates - Haha! Thanks Gary! 😀

That’s a real winter warmer on this bitterly cold day Ian 💛💛

@pelly - Thanks Jane! It is rather chilly today isn't it? 😀

Morning Ian least its a but of colour Have a good day

@Keely - Morning Keely! Yes, the colour is very welcome! Have a good one too! 😀

Had to look this one up as I didn’t recognise it at first - looks great Ian, even if confused 😄

Oh that’s beautiful

Good morning Ian cold and snowy here. Your flower is bright and cheerful 🤗

Good morning lan have a good day 🙋🏻‍♀️

Love your macro shots!

@richard.spicer.7906 - Hehe! Thanks Richard! That's what I absolutely love about macro photography - you can shoot quite familiar things and make them look quite unfamiliar! The detail within nature is particularly wonderful! 😀

Good morning GTers! Woohoo! My first Persian Buttercup bloom has arrived! This is just one of the images in my weekly photo #blog which you can see at the following link if you're interested - www.bigemrg.co.uk/blog/latest Have a terrific day everyone! 😀 #yellow #ranunculus

Another interesting blog Ian & fab photography👌 I had one of those black headed gulls stuck at the bottom of one of my filled in chimney breast in the dinning room, took us over 4hrs to get to him to pull him out only by knocking out a few bricks 🙄 thankfully he was ok I took him out on to the grass went in to get him a drink but he flew off leaving us to clear up the brick dust!!! 😄

Morning Ian. That's bright and sunny 💛

Morning Ian , great photos on your blog , thankfully muuuch cooler today !!

@janric - Thanks Jan! Oh my, what a story! I wonder if that's how they all get their sooty looking black heads? 😀

@vec - Good morning Julie! Definitely brighter than it is outside today! 😀

@juliesgarden - Morning Julie! Thank you! Yes, thank goodness it has cooled down a bit! 😀

Morning Ian @bigemrg Fabulous pic looks like a jewel sitting there 👌 hope you have a lovely day Ian ☺

She's a beauty lovely picture

@jadojado29 - Good morning Suzie! Thank you! Have a good one too! 😀

@kathy - Thanks Kathy! 😀

Morning 🌼 well didn't those little octopuses turn out pretty?! 👍🏼😉

Good evening all! Not the most exciting of photographs but I'm excited to see that my octopus like #ranunculus bulbs have begun to grow! They even survived a hail storm this afternoon! 😀 #newgrowth

That's very interesting

@kathy - I've never grown them before and had to look up which way up to plant the bulbs! Tentacles down if you need to know! 😀

Can't wait😄🤗

Mine are at about the same stage as yours Ian, I can't wait for them to flower. 😍😍😍

The tiny hairs protect the leafs, great capture, love little leafs, @bigemrg

@SikoMa - Me neither Dar! 😀

@pelly - Mine have been in for about three weeks! Was beginning to think they'd got lost! 😀

@thehardygardener - Quite cute aren't they Aly! 😀

Mine were longer than that I think, I had these, Gladiolus and Anemones and they are all through now 😍😍😍

@pelly - Ooh, my Gladiolus came through this week too Jane! No sign of my Anemones though, but that's no surprise as I never have any luck with them! 😀

There's still time Ian 👍👍👍

Nothing to see here again! Just updating my plant database! Have never grown these #ranunculus bulbs before and had to look up how to plant them! They look like little octopuses and need to be planted with their tentacles pointing down! 🐙

Strange Ian aren't they I planted some a couple of weeks ago, I expected them to run across the table 😁

@jaynehynesburton - Hehe! I can see them scampering around now! 🕷 🐙 😀

😂😂

Ooh how strange!

I have planted these too and have some good growth on them now. These were the ones you were asking about Hayley @hayleyaj

@rachelbrooks - I've never seen anything like them Rachel! 😀

@elsie - I hope mine will be reaching for the skies soon Maria! 😀

I planted so many bulbs and seeds I couldn't remember what they looked like when I planted them but do now.....very odd

Weird and creepy!! 😂😂😂 @elsie

@elsie - Well I've never seen anything like them before! 😀

@hayleyaj - 😀
