“i am not a peony,” cries the ranunculus. “peonies are fickle, only showing their frilly faces for a month or so, unless you have coin enough to bribe them. they’re large and garish and demand all the attention. they make women faint all the time.” the little flower folds his leaves across his stem with a harumph. “and besides, they’re pollinated by ants!”
lisianthus pipes up, assuming ranunculus is through with his tirade. “actually, sometimes i think you look more like an anemone when you’re all opened up like that.”
ranunculus simply glares.

What colors do ranunculus come in?
>thanks, ladies.
ranunculus come in a really wide range–soft pinks and whites, even variegated sometimes. better yet are the jewel-toned ones, deep gold and fuchsia. also some novelty varieties in green or with green centers. it's like a little salad framed with pink petals.
