Unexpectedly Delightful Ranunculus

The name might be a bit of a mouthful to say but ranunculus are one of the most stunning flowers in a bridal bouquet. Similar to David Austen roses and peonies they can be used as a substitute or compliment to both. The lovely tissue like petals and soft swirling heads come in a variety of pinks, in white, orange and yellow. The victorian language of flowers attributed the phrase "I am dazzled by your charms" to the ranunculus. In season throughout winter.
