Ranunculus - Nuriot
























Every October I plant the Ranunculus claw like bulbus alnog the Roses bed.
Slowly the green leaves emerge and in March a row of brilliant colored flowers decorate the Rose bed.
I love the dark colors of the Ranunculus flowers with the layers of petals.
I have to remember to dig them out and replant them, otherwise the Mow and Blow guy rake the row thoroughly.
I have to remember to order jumbos bulbs next year. It is said that each jumbo bulb will produce 35 flowers.
The site

has a very instructive article about Rnunculus.
