Aren't ranunculus just a lovely variety of flowers? The name is Latin for "little frog" because the species was often found near the water, like froggies.
I found this frilly bunch today and am gushing over the combination of yellows and pinks. What I adore about this particular flower is the lushness of the bloom and the distinctly punctuated black center. Now, if only we could get them smelling like roses and they would be spot on.
