Friday flowers

Ranunculus, $3 for a good sized bunch at the farmers' market.

They didn't quite fit in my milk glass vase, so I put some of the stubbier ones in a tea cup.

    Oh I love the teacup idea. That would be perfect for low table decorations for a bunch teaparty. Have a great weekend, Rachel!

    Love! Do you have the ranunculus in florist foam or frog made from tape in the tea cup? They are behaving so well!

    Have you ever been to the ranununculs fields in Sand Diego? They're amazing.

    Lovely! This weekend has been dubbed "try to find something that isn't the color of dirt in the desert" weekend. I'm thankful spring is colorful somewhere!

    so pretty. I love the spontaneous vase hunt that flowers and their stubby stems send us on. Great teacup idea...oh so cute!

    @ Jules - I have a metal flower frog in the tea cup. I buy them from the Japanese market and I have a ton of them in different shapes and sizes. So handy for sparse arrangements. I haven't heard of the SD ranunuculus fields! I must google that immediately.

    Me too! My favorite flower; every year I wait for them to be in season. My last bunch had to be tossed yesterday, so I'm hoping to grab a new bouquet today to keep me happy.

    Ranunculus flowers are usually sold and planted as rhizomes. Sometimes these are mistakenly referred to as bulbs :)
