  Ranunculus - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
According to the canons of the florists, the flowers, to be perfect, should be of the form of two-thirds of a ball, the outline forming a perfect circle, with the centre close, the petals smooth-edged, the colour dense, and the marking uniform.
The ranunculus requires a strong and moist soil, with a fourth of rotten dung.
The ranunculus is readily propagated from seed obtained from semi-double sorts, which are often of themselves very beautiful flowers.

 Ranunculus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ranunculus is a large genus of about 400 species of plants in the Ranunculaceae.
When Ranunculus plants are handled, naturally occurring ranunculin is broken down to form protoanemonin which is known to cause contact dermatitis in humans and care should therefore be excercised in excessive handling of the plants[1].
Ranunculus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Hebrew Character and Small Angle Shades.

 The (Ranunculus) Flower Fields
The Ranunculus Flower Fields, aka The Flower Fields, are the ones you see as a blaze of color driving by them on I-5 in Carlsbad, framed by the windmill of Andersen's Pea Soup Restaurant & Hotel, just north of Palomar Airport Road, about 30 minutes from Fallbrook.
The main flower grown at the Flower Fields, as you might guess, is ranunculus, which is grown from seed to produce tubers for sale throughout the world.
The ranunculus are grown in north-south bands of similar colors, including bands of mixed colors, so there are patches of different colors marching up the hill that they are grown on.

 All about flowers - THE RANUNCULUS, Ranunculus Asiaticu   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
It must be confessed that the ranunculus is at the present time not a fashionable flower, for in truth it is comparatively unknown in its proper character to the race of modern florists.
The dahlia may rank next to it in respect of technical merit, but the refinement of the ranunculus is unique, and its range of variety almost boundless; and it needs no costly appliances for its most perfect cultivation.
It is a matter of considerable importance that the Asiatic ranunculus, in all its many varieties, comes so nearly true from seed that to reproduce the finest sorts quickly and in quantity is altogether an easy matter.

 Ranunculus
The elegant ranunculus derives its name from the Latin word rana, meaning "frog"--hardly the picture these dainty blooms typically bring to mind.
The name refers not to the flowers' appearance, but to the moist environments in which they typically grow.
Florists typically use the double-flowered ranunculus form, with its profusion of thin, closely spaced petals.

 American Floral Endowment - Epidemiology and Control of Ranunculus Bacterial Blight 1998 Proposals
It is likely that the bacterium is spread in the industry in infested seed and tubers, and disinfest ation of these materials should be key to preventing the disease during Ranunculus selection and propagation.
The results are expected to provide practical solutions to this disease problem during Ranunculus selection and propagation, as well as improve the quality of Ranunculus in commercial and home gardens.
Most xanthomonads have narrow host ranges, and we expect that the Ranunculus strain primarily infects Ranunculus or related plants As a xanthomonad, it is not likely to survive in soil or elsewhere in the environment, and disruption of the disease cycle through the elimination of seed and tuber infestations should therefore provide effective disease control.

 Small-Flowered Buttercup (Ranunculus abortivus)
To distinguish Ranunculus abortivus from Ranunculus micranthus, it is often necessary to examine the naked receptacles of these two species (the receptacle of the flower is what remains after the carpels, sepals, and petals are removed).
The receptacle of Ranunculus abortivus is pubescent, while the receptacle of Ranunculus micranthus is hairless.
Another difference is the following: the achenes of Ranunculus abortivus have a shiny surface, while the achenes of Ranunculus micranthus have a dull surface.
