RANUNCULUS

The latin name ranunculus means "little frog". The word refers to the swampy ground where many types of the flower grow. This is one little frog I find very difficult to resist. One of my favorite flowers by far. I love the pink ones, and the white ones, and the yellow... I love them all! They are so delicate and oh so beautiful, their petals almost like tissue paper. They are just perfect on their own so you can admire their curvy stems and their plump blooms or just as beautiful tucked in with other spring flowers. These bulb grown blossoms are available all year round through imports but the peak season is December to end of May (best value). Care Tips: Remove all foliage, recut stems and change water regularly. The stems are inclined to buckle. If you don't want them curvy, insert a flower wire to keep them upright or cut the stems short.
