Dranunculus vulgaris

Although this is not a tropical plant, I am putting it here as it looks so exotic.

It was in the friends garden in Ipswich.

Thanks for this, Kedi.
The second site was particularly interesting but although it looks good, I definitely don't want one! Very surprised it isn't tropical so is very unusual. Will you be growing it?

Tamarine, you posted a pic of your Drancunculus almost 4 years ago, here -

I really must get over to your Blog and have a thorough look through again.

It would be nice to see another pic of it. Has it bloomed every year since?
