Ranunculus bulbosus, commonly known as bulbous buttercup or St. Anthony's turnip,[1] is a perennial flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae. It has bright yellow flowers, and deeply divided, three-lobed long-petioled basal leaves.
The stems are 20–40 cm tall, erect, branching, and slightly hairy, with a swollen corm-like base.[2]: 120 [3] There are alternate and sessile leaves on the stem. The flower forms at the apex of the stems, with 5–7 petals,[3] the sepals strongly reflexed.[2] The flowers are glossy yellow and 1.5–3 cm wide. The plant blooms from April to July.
The native range of Ranunculus bulbosus is Western Europe between about 60°N and the Northern Mediterranean coast. It grows in both the eastern and western parts of North America as an introduced weed.[4] Bulbous buttercup grows in lawns, pastures and fields in general, preferring nutrient-poor, well-drained soils. Although it doesn't generally grow in proper crops or improved grassland, it is often found in hay fields[5] and in coastal grassland.
The bulbous buttercup gets its name from its distinctive perennating organ, a bulb-like swollen underground stem or corm, which is situated just below the soil surface. After the plant dies in heat of summer, the corm survives underground through the winter.[6][7] Although the presence of a corm distinguishes Ranunculus bulbosus from some other species of buttercup such as Ranunculus acris, the species also has distinctive reflexed sepals.
Other names for the bulbous buttercup are "Goldcup" because of the colour and shape of the leaves, and "Frogs-foot" from their form.[8]
This plant, like other buttercups, contains the toxic glycoside ranunculin, which gives it a bitter, acid taste, so cases of poisoning in humans are rare.[9] It is also avoided by livestock when fresh, but when the plant dries the toxin is lost, so hay containing the plant is safe for animal consumption.[3] Pigs are unaffected by the toxin and eat bulbous buttercups avidly, being prepared to travel long distances to find them;[10] hence the folk name of the plant, St Antony's Turnip, after the patron saint of swineherds.

Allium karataviense, or Turkestan onion, is a low-growing bulbous perennial plant native to Central Asia. It produces round heads of star-shaped, pinkish-white flowers atop short stalks in late spring to early summer. The leaves are broad, fleshy, and bluish-gray in color, making it an attractive ornamental plant for rock gardens or border plantings. Allium karataviense prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It is drought tolerant and requires little watering once established. This plant is not typically invasive; as always, check your local extension office.
One particular concern - the leaves are broad, and this is an early grower. Take care with what you're planting next to it, lest you accidentally shade something out. I learned this lesson the hard way with some poor Echinacea!

Discover the Charm of Chinese Lantern Plant Varieties
Description/Taste
Chinese Lantern plants are straight stalks with large and heart-shaped, flat leaves that are decorated with white flowers and vibrantly colored bulbous seeds in pods. White flowers have five petals that have a slight bent shape, which ranges from between 1 and 2 centimeters in diameter. As the flower ages it will lose its petals and allow the calyx to grow and cover the growing berry. The calyx that is inflated, often referred to as the seedpod of the plant, is green at first it changes to orange, yellow, and red-orange with the onset of maturity. As the pod matures it also becomes thinner and brittle, with a paper-like consistency typically between 4 and 5 centimeters wide. Chinese Lantern berries average 1 to 2 centimeters and are aqueous, which means they contain numerous tiny white seeds.
