My Mom always planted ranunculus in my Grandmother's garden every spring. I always think of the them oohing and ahhing over these full feathered flowers whenever I see them.
They make me smile...them and these.
I wish they'd last forever.

They are wonderful - very evocative. I can recall the same ohhing and ahhing in my Grandmother's garden in Denmark, but it was over roses and the performance of the gooseberry bush! LB
ReplyDeleteLooooove ranunculus but have never grown them and my mother has a (brilliant) Australian native garden, possibly why I am so drawn to English cottage gardens because I find them quite exotic compared to our drought tolerant natives. It is bulb planting time here in Australia so I might just get going on some ranunculus in some pots for a sweet Spring surprise!
ReplyDeleteI think these beautiful things are just about my favourite flower. Leigh
ReplyDeleteThey are my favourite flowers! love them...
ReplyDeleteI am desperate for ranunculus this year and I am having such trouble getting the colours I want!
ReplyDeleteHot pink and burgundy are available. I want white, pale pink, not so pale pink and hot pink (just like you have there) BUT I can't find bulbs in Australia in that lovely soft pink!!!!!!!
Love your post.
Oh yes, LOVE ranunculas. I have three of them in a vase with tulips and anemones on my dining table right now. Such joyful, pretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteThose are absolutely gorgeous. I love how you include flowers in most of your shots.
ReplyDeleteRanunculas are a favorite of mine. These images are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteTrina, you always have the best flowers! Love to see them arranged so simply as you do. I have a hard time finding ranunculus here in Canada, the flower shops rarely have them. The pink ones are divine.

I love them too. And just adore teh different shade. Such fleeting beauties.
ReplyDeleteSweet greetings from Frog Hollow Farm. Ranunculus - I have always loved them. What is it about that flower? Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing. If I could collect all the beautiful flower photos that I see on your blog, I would have a gorgeous bouquet. Ciao, bella!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love when something as simple as a flower can spark such warm memories. Kim

ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to see these! I planted bulbs this January and am waiting anxiously for mine to bloom! :)
ReplyDeleteThey don't last forever, but they do last a long time. I remember the first time I ever saw these flowers - I was entranced. I love to have yellow and pink ones together - they say 'spring is really here'.

Your pictures and the flowers are just beautiful (and I love the milk glass vase)!
ReplyDeleteMy mother always planted ranunculus in her window boxes, when I was young I thought they were roses and their cheery colors always make me smile, as I am now.

I love them! I had actually purchased a couple bunches at Trader Joe's recently.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous! There is nothing better than fresh cut flowers.
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous Trina! Your images are always so stunning, and magazine worthy.

Oh how I love ranuculus. Every Spring they are the first flower I buy to bring home to cheer things up a bit. (besides the forsythia branches that I love to force) Your phots are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous aren't they?! That fleeting beauty in spring. I plan on planting a lot this winter. Something to look forward to. xxoxxo
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely and textured flowers! I'm a gardener, so these are near and dear to me!

Those do not grow well in Georgia. I tried painting some, a few days, ago.

Hi Trina,
ReplyDeleteAny flower that reminds you of someone you love gets extra, extra points in my book. Beautiful photos as always. Is pink your favorite color for flowers?
~janet
They are just the most beautiful flower, aren't they? I adore them. Your posts are always so beautiful! Love your marble lamps...each one is so special.

Oh, how I love these flowers! I wish I had them in my garden! They are so lovely with the milk glass and dishes!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. If I might ask - what kind of camera do you use?
ReplyDeleteHi Leigha,
ReplyDeleteI use a Canon Rebel xsi! I'm afraid I only use just one or two settings - still trying to get up the nerve to read the owner's manual!!!
