This pretty flower has to be my favourite! It is available through the coldest months of winter, but always makes me feel that spring is just around the corner. The white variety is a beautiful flower to use in wedding work, but the range of colours doesn’t end there and there are varieties in colours to suit every taste, from soft pastels to strong, bright hues.
Ranunculus in stunning colours for sale at the market in Lorgues, South of France.
February’s flower – Ranunculus
Ranunculus blooms are made up of masses of delicate petals, which are tightly packed together when the flower is in bud. As the flower opens, the soft, tissue-thin petals open out to give a lovely rounded bloom which lasts and lasts. The flowers mix well with others for arrangements, but look beautiful used en masse.
White Ranunculus are a great choice for a classic white and green wedding theme. The pretty green buds can be used too to give a natural effect.
This beautifully simple yet stylish bouquet is made with a mix of white Ranunculus and ‘Akito’ roses.
White Ranunculus mix well with other soft coloured flowers used to make this stunning candelabra table centre.
And here the flowers and buds have been used in these pretty cup cake novelty designs
If you’re not tempted by the cup cakes above, then these Ranunculus in sorbet shades certainly look good enough to eat! If you’re a girl who loves pink, what could be better than a mass of these pale pink delights made into a hand tied bouquet?
The two pictures above taken at the flower market in Nice, South of France, show varieties of Ranunculus with shaded, or even two-tone, petals which look stunning as the flowers open.
..............and if you love bright colours, who could fail to be cheered up by the sunshine colours of these Ranunculus bouquets, photographed at the flower market in Nice?
For something a little more subtle you can’t go wrong white Ranunculus – they look beautiful with everything!
