One of my favorite springtime flowers is the Ranunculus.
They come in a variety of colors and are just beautiful.
In the language of flowers, a bouquet of ranunculus says
"I am dazzled by your charms."
The name ranunculus can be broken down to it's Latin
roots to mean little frog, it is assumed that it
got this name because it grew beside streams and was
as plentiful as the little frogs in the area.
They are part of the butter cup flower family.
Ranunculus-- the word itself is round
And rich and brightly colored and so lush
That stoic heroes have been turned to mush
Where fields and fields of them have been around!
Anissa Nedzel Gage.
They are also known as the spring rose.
I loved how they arranged the flowers in baskets on bikes this
year at the garden. It made for some beautiful photos.
I really enjoyed photographing these beautiful flowers this spring and learning
more about them.
Do you have a favorite flower?
