Mary Sue mentioned getting a nice yellow flower from me which she named as Ranunculus palmata, but it's actually Anemone palmata. Same family! Everyone in California should be growing it! It even grows well from stored seed, which I generally donate to the NARGS exchange. A spectacular SOuth African bulb which Mary Sue gave me is blooming in the bulb frame: Romulea sabulosa. The red flowers are so huge they're lying on the ground; the bad weather here may have something to do with that too. Jane McGary
