Ranunculus: Big Orange Flower

This one definitely belongs to the Ranunculus species, but there are about 600 varieties, so hardly to say which one. It is beautiful. Could it be Persian buttercup?

I agree with Katarina! What a beautiful Ranunculus! I had some red ones last year in a pot, I re-potted them in the Autumn and they sent up leafy shoots almost straight away! They've survived the wet Winter, I'm waiting for them to flower - don't think that will be until about May time... :o)

Yes it is very Beautiful.

i can not identify this but i feel like a big juicy orange now... great capture beautiful bloom...

Thank you everybody for your comments. This bloom is as big as an orange. Petaltracey and Katarina, you are spot on as usual :)

If I am without spot or stain now, then it is O.K. :-)
