Does anyone know the name of a pond plant which has yellow, buttercup-like flowers, grows to approximately 18" high and looks a bit like the way corn grows?

I'm about to donate some pond plants to a garden nursery I've recently come across and this is the only one that I don't know the name of.

Sorry, can't post a pic.

Ta!

Try looking up globe flower or Trollius.
I assume it's not king cup Caltha palustris.
Also look up Ranunculus - water spearwort.

Blimey, Damp, you've done it again! Don't know how you do it!

Ranunculus Lingua Grandiflora it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also have Caltha Palustris which puts on a lovely show earlier than this plant.

While I was searching I found some great aquatic plant sites that I've bookmarked for future reference.
