Ranunculus auricomus.. Common name Goldilocks buttercup…see below
Calyx not hairy.
This was at Kew But this was Kew, where anything is possible.
However it does not seem to be in a bed, but growing wild.
It is not Ranunculus repens… creeping buttercup.
But the hairy calyx on our meadow buttercup, Ranunculus acris looks to be a good match.

Do please take a few mins to look at the amazing work of Brian Johnson from Canada.
I have admired his incredible images for many years.
