Is this flower anemone ?:
is this flower a species of Anemone. flowering these days at my home in Sirsa district of Haryana. Temperature is around 15 degrees C min. Soil is salty and otherwise sandy. the flower is growing in shade.
Leaves are very much like that of Ranunculus and soft like that of Coriander as is visible in these photographs…

– I hope this is also the same Ranunculus asiaticus. Shot in the annual flower show in Hong Kong.

– Perhaps yes

Please have a look at branched stem, P. nudicaule would have naked scape and only 4 petals.
