Ranunculus: one of my all time favorite flowers! They look like a cross between a rose and a peony and come in a gorgeous array of colors. I have called around to several nurseries here inquiring about them, and am disappointed to hear the person on the other end of the line saying “Huh? A WHAT? Can you spell that for me?” And I know that we can grow it here. This is zone 7 after all, people!
While not everyone in NC has heard of this brilliant flower, there are plenty of people on Etsy who have. So this is where I will send all those people when they act clueless about Ranuncu-WHAT? I wanted to share some nifty finds with you today and hope it brightens up your week!

GREAT, GREAT minds!! I thought of you when I first got this post together and thought “I wonder if Steph knows about Ranunculus? Yeah, of COURSE she does!” I want to plant a bunch of these tubers soon! You’ve gotta get some, too!
Beautiful flower! It’s one of my top flowery loves! Love your posts!

You have a great site! I love ranunculas…I can even grow them here in Arizona until it gets too hot. They are delicate and beautiful.

Thanks for dropping by, Laraine! <3
I have always love peonies and protea as my top flowers but these are so delicate they put a tear in my eye. Thanks for the gorgeous visuals.
