Plant i.d. Chelsea Show Gardens

Saw some Chelsea coverage on TV & I'm trying to find a couple of plants. There's a list of plants here:

rnli.org/support-us/rhs-chelsea-flower-show/plant-list

I've found one plant I was looking for (Cirsium rivulare ‘Atropurpureum’) because the name came up as a subtitle & I remembered a bit of it, but does anyone recognise this one which wasn't identified on TV? It was in two show gardens, I think, & it was a stunning bright orange flower on a straight stem, the flower being like a double lotus or water lily shape. If I can find pix of gardens online I'll add them.

Nothing jumped out at me from that list, I've got lots of them myself or know them, the ranunculus are in the buttercup family and some of them are orange so I'd google those ones.

If you can work out which show gardens they were in, you could then try and find some images of those gardens online.

Wild stab in the dark - an orange variety of geum?

More formal-looking & structured than a geum or ranunculus.

I'll have to see if Chesea is still on Player. Thanks, all.

Not a crown imperial? That is a sort of double layer of orange flower on a straight stem. Am sure I saw some on the Chelsea coverage.

Thanks. The flower went up from the stem, rather than down.

I think it was these.

Can you remember roughly how tall?

I also recall seeing quite a few primulas that were orangey but is that too small?

TheSpottedZebra · 15/06/2022 19:53

Cross post! Of course that's no primula!
Have you got an image of the stem?

Trollius chinensis

Cheers, @Foxfeeder, that's it.

I was going to say trollius. We've just planted golden queen, so dramatic!

LadyGardenersQuestionTime · 16/06/2022 08:29

Yup, I've bought those in the past, and lost them, they are an awful lot fussier than the ones that freely help themselves to spaces in my garden. Gorgeous though.
