Around here the indigenous ranunculus are referred to as 'swamp buttercup'.
Charming flowers.

is there a Ranunculus that is known as "flora pleno"? I had a plant that
loved a damp place that had these awesome little minature bright yellow,
waxy looking flowers that were no larger than my thumbnail. It would
throw a
couple three daughters to runner from the central mother plant. I gave
starts of it away until one spring it never returned for me. There is a
single variety that is wild around here, but it was a deffinate double
that
I was told by the agricultural extension agent that it was a creeping
Ranunculus, or true buttercup variety flora pleno. I'd LOVE to find it
again
and get it reestablished. The flowers rose about six to 7 inches above
the
ruffled leaves. . ...
