Ranunculus |
Native to Asia and celebrated for its medicinal properties as well as its bright beauty, the small camellia-like ranunculus ranges from white to pink, red to yellow to orange. Also known as Buttercup and Coyote's Eyes, legend has it that the mythological Coyote was tossing his eyes up in the air and catching them when Eagle snatched them. Unable to see, Coyote created eyes from the buttercup.In the language of flowers, a bouquet of ranunculus says, "I am dazzled by your charms." |

Tecolote Ranunculus
|
 Tecolote Ranunculus - Okay, the name is tough to love,
but these plants sure aren't. First, the Tecolote part. There are several types
of ranunculus but we only sell the Tecolote strain. Why? Because these have been
selectively bred to produce big 3"-5" flowers by the handful, in scrumptious
colors. A single bulb can produce dozens of ranunculus flowers. In answer to
flower arrangers' prayers, Tecolote ranunculus grow with long straight stems,
have an long vase-life and bloom in mouthwatering shades. Recent breeding has
yielded flowers with picotee markings, blush edges that appear to have been the
result of hand dipping each blossom. |

Charm of Ranunculus
|
Because they belong to ranunculaceae as well as anemones, some of their features
are similar to anemones. You can enjoy flowers continuously from each bulb, and
you can make large flowers if you fertilize them eough.
The bulbs are
unexpectedly small.
