フクジュソウ 福寿草
A genus of about 20-30 species of flowering plants of the crowfoot family, [[ranunculus|Ranunculaceae]], native to Europe and Asia. Their flowers are red, yellow or orange and have 5-30 petals with feathery, finely divided leaves that form a fluffy collar around each individual flower.

Commonly depicted members of the genus are [i][b]Adonis amurensis[/b][/i], a perennial plant with a double-flowered [[yellow flower]] that has around 20-24 petals each, and [i][b]Adonis ramosa[/b][/i]. Their Japanese name "Fukujusō" means "fortune-longevity-plant", so they’re also used for planting at New Year's parties.
