Frank,

Which Adonis and how long have you had this plant in the ground in your part 
of the world?  It is criticized here as being too like a big dandelion but it 
blooms for me while there is still snow on the slopes.  Since that is quite a 
while before the dandelions, I like this plant.  Mine blooms, hangs around 
for a few weeks and then begins to disappear until next winter.  For this 
reason it is well to plant it by the back door or in a rock garden.  Mine is 
very large now, big clump with lots of flowers which we will be seeing 
somewhat later than in the past.  Also, have you divided this plant?
