The monthly flower spotlight for June is the ranunculus, an exquisite flower with an interesting and colorful legacy. 

The ranunculus is truly an example of old fashioned elegance and sophistication. One might think of Victorian ladies having tea in a garden while ranunculus flowers and roses surround the scene. This perennial flower has delicate petals bursting from its center and exudes perfection. The abundant layers of soft petals add an extra touch to any special occasion. The ranunculus comes in a variety of stunning hues such as pink, orange, red, yellow, gold, and occasionally white for a traditional or a modern option.

The ranunculus has a vivid cultural history. The Latin word “ranunculus” means “little frog,” and this is due to the flower's affinity for growing in moist, boggy areas. In the Pacific Northwestern United States, Nez Pierce Indians call this flower “Coyote's Eyes.” They say that one night, while Coyote was tossing his eyes into the sky for amusement, a bird snatched his eyes in mid-air and the blind Coyote then created new eyes from ranunculus flowers.

Ranunculus flowers are lovely as well as versatile. Their layers of circular petals, as well as their ability to blend in and stand out simultaneously, make them an irresistible choice for a bouquet. A ranunculus bouquet in orange, pink, or white would be a complementary choice for a summer or fall wedding. Additionally, bring some quiet elegance to your event through ranunculus centerpieces and boutonnieres.
