Ranunculus Love



When standing and smiling in the flower stall
Small buds I did observe
They didn't really entice me
Scraggly, twisty, and rather scrawny
Should I take a chance?
Would anyone love these little buds?
A chance I finally gave them
Home they came
As I watched them unfurl and shine
I fell in love
Oh, Ranunculus, how beautiful
Like a sweet ballerina's skirt, so sweet and lovely
in the morning sun

    Lovely, lovely!!! I'm in love with that pink teapot, too. I'm a closet pink lover - I hate to admit it, but I can. That's just lovely!

    Most definitely one of my favorite flowers. We usually start seeing them here around Easter. When I go to our market I fill the cart with Ranunculus and hydrangeas (with a few bulb gardens). It can't come soon enough.

    I became acquainted with ranunculus not too many years ago and fell in love with their ruffled charm. Yours are such a pretty pink.

    I adore ranunculus, too. There are scads of them coming up in my front yard, and buds are forming! Your photos are gorgeous!

    These are just exquisite! They remind me of little peonies!

    Oh I do adore ranicule (as the French say) and its many layers. Yours are so pretty!
