Ranunculus flammula aka Lesser Spearwort

Ranunculus flammula, also known as the lesser spearwort, greater creeping spearwort, or banewort, is a poisonous species of perennial herbaceous plants. It can be found growing in damp places throughout the Boreal Kingdom and blooms in June and July. This plant is closely related to R. reptans, which is distinguished by its prostrate and slender stems, narrower leaves, and smaller flowers. Sometimes, R. reptans is included as a variety within R. flammula. Ranunculus flammula is adapted to rain-pollination and is a marginal, aquatic perennial reaching a height of approximately 90cm. It has upright, green spear-shaped leaves tinged with red, measuring 1-2.5 cm in length. During early summer, it produces bright yellow, cup-shaped flowers that are 2cm across. On the other hand, Flame Buttercup is a rare houseplant native to the United States and Canada. It belongs to the Ranunculus genus and requires regular watering to thrive. This plant prefers long-lasting, direct light and should be placed less than 1 foot away from a window. It thrives in soil that retains moisture well and doesn't require additional fertilizers if repotted each time it doubles in size.
