Ranunculus ficaria 'Bunch'
A pretty little double flower, in they style of 'Collarette' but without the obsessive striving for perfection
that can sometimes make 'Collarette' look like a devilish trimmer for nasal hair.
Found by Roz Robson in the 80's and named after her dog, who was neither small nor quietly attractive, but
had the same homely enthusiasm and good cheer. As I recall, it came from the lane behind her house, where
she took the dog when he needed a ...well, a little rest shall we say.
