Ranunculus montanus 'Molten Gold'

A wonderful little alpine for spring with large golden flowers. The flowers appear just as the leaves emerge in spring so open when the foliage is fresh and bright green. It's a lovely wee thing but not that common. 

Molten Gold grows easily (but fairly slowly) into a nice mound, preferring a slightly moist (or not dry) soil. About 7cm (3") high.
