I LOVE Ranunculus, and not just because it is the most fun-to-spell word in the universe. I always assumed these babies were related to one of my other favorite flowers, the Peony, but my Sunset Western Garden Book (published in 1988, and purchased from the estate of a long-dead Palm Springs resident) begs to differ. Apparently, Ranunculus (try it with me!) are relatives of the Buttercup. How quaint!
Anyway, if these vibrant blooms don't inspire you to Just Live Dammit!, then I am worried about the condition of your soul. May the wonders of Mother Nature never cease. Her color palettes are even better than Mickey's.
