To say the plant before recognizing a word, you will not be like me, the buttercup pronounced "Liang", it reads gèn, as a single word, specifically refers to kudzu, that is, we call it the broken hearted grass of the hook kiss (Gelsemium elegans), and most of them with the "hairy" to form a perennial herb. I recognize the word because of the huge buttercup family, of which today's protagonist, the buttercup, is a member.

Flowering buttercup, buttercup family, buttercup genus perennial herbaceous flowers, its flowers are rich in color, mostly double or semi-double petals, flowers like peony, businessmen like to call it peony, its leaves like celery leaves, it is often referred to as celery flowers, or the two collectively referred to as celery leaf peony, some people also say that it looks like a lotus flower, known as the land of the lotus flower.

It's English common name is Persian buttercup, Persian is Persian, buttercup is buttercup, direct translation is Persian buttercup.

Buttercup's Latin name is Ranunculus asiaticus, its genus name Ranunculus name from the Latin "rana (frog)", because most of the plants in this genus like to live in the wetlands at the water's edge, there are many simply soaked in water. The word asiaticus means "Asian", but buttercups are found in Asia (West Asia), Europe (southern Greek islands) and Africa (North Africa), and happen to be the birthplace of some of mankind's oldest civilizations.

It's funny, I'm also a frequent visitor to the flower market, and every time, I want to see what new species of individuals I don't recognize. However, every time, I would ignore it, in my eyes, it is so-and-so chrysanthemum, or so-and-so moonflower, even if it is more like peony, I also ignore it.

Till one day, my good friend @coral accompanied me to the flower market, she pointed at it and asked me, "Have you ever photographed this? The buttercup, commonly known as the peony, is a buttercup. The color value is so high, but actually I did not see it, it is really aggrieved.

But who came up with the Chinese name, I can't always remember it. I've always found it strange to have a name that starts with the word "flower", such as "flower tobacco" or "cauliflower", but it's the trade name "peony" that I remember.

There are so many varieties of buttercups, it's overwhelming, if you go to the flower market, at a glance, there are heavy petals, semi-heavy petals, as for the color is even more horribly rich, there are white, yellow, red, aqua, red, orange, purple and brown ...... almost cover all the colors you can imagine, in case you have a collection of addiction, want to collect all the styles, then you have to collect all the styles. collect all the styles then you'll have to prepare a minivan.

The buttercup is a perennial rooted herb, the underground part of which is clustered together in small, spindle-shaped tubers that resemble a small, dried-up claw that stays alive for a long time after dormancy, and is often used by gardening enthusiasts as a reference to the buttercup.

In fact, many buttercup flowers are really similar to many multi-petaled flowers, which makes the leaves an important feature in distinguishing them.

The shape of the buttercup's leaves is similar to that of a celery leaf, which is why it is called a celery flower, or a celery peony by its domestic associates.

Its basal leaves are ovoid, with long petioles, and the leaning cauline leaves are dichotomously ternate and pinnately compound.

The buttercup's flowers are really similar to peonies and peonies are not called peonies for nothing. Their smaller-than-a-fist flowers have multiple petals, colorful flowers, slightly blooming petals, full and layered flowers, but also a bit of the national grace of the temperament.

Compared with peonies, buttercups have a longer production time and more blooms in a single ball.

While I don't have the same affinity for heavy petals as I do for single petals, they are popular because of the colorfulness of the heavy petals.

Buttercups are very important as cut flowers, and there are a wide range of varieties suitable as cut flowers, as well as many suitable for potting.

Buttercups have a very long flowering period, from the pre-spring to May, basically without difficulty.

Buttercup prefers cool and semi-shady environment, avoid heat, suitable for growing temperature of about 20 ℃ during the day, 7 ~ 10 ℃ at night, both afraid of wet and afraid of drought, suitable for planting in a well-drained, fertile and loose neutral or alkaline soil. the tuberous roots into the dormant period after June.

So this is a very delicate and difficult to raise the plant, like a mild climate, fresh air and humidity, growing environment sparse shade, intolerant of cold and freezing, more afraid of the heat and sun. In most parts of China in the summer into a dormant state. Potted plants require humus-rich, loose and fertile, permeable sandy culture soil.
