Ranunculas

The ranunculas are just beginning to bloom, and what a welcome sight they are. I just love these flowers! This is one of the fancy Italian varieties.

Oh my gosh! That is so pretty! The color is just divine.

Some flowers just stop you in your tracks, and for me ranunculas are included in that group-- even at this early stage, when the patch is just beginning to bloom. Not sure what the name of this intense red and yellow one is, but I like to call it 'Flamenco'; it reminds me of a Spanish dancer's ruffled skirt. And I counted more than 30 buds on 13 stems of this one pink ranuncula plant. Talk about a work horse variety.

I've never grown ranuncula's. Soooo pretty!

The ranunculas are in full bloom now, and are an absolute riot of colour.

And Heirloomgal, the Cerinthe is becoming more and more blue-- just like you said it would. What an interesting plant to have in the garden.
