These plants, native to Asia Minor are tuberous-rooted with fresh green, fern like leaves. They bloom profusely in spring and each flowering stalk bears one to four 3-5 inch wide, double blossoms not unlike a small peony. The flowers of the ranunculus come in white, cream and many shades of yellow, orange, red and pink. The Tecolote Giant strain comes in single colors, mixed colors and picotees. The Bloomingdale strain offers the same variety in a dwarf plant 8-10 inches high. All types of this flowers grow equally well in pots or in the ground.
If you would like to see a truly spectacular vision of these flowers and are anywhere near San Diego, then a visit to the Flower Fields in Carlsbad is a must. Here fields of ranunculus grow in a blaze of color and look from a distance like the tulip fields in Amsterdam, they even have windmills. Every year they have specials which this year include, roses, sweet peas, poinsettias and flowers which form the "American Flag of Flowers". You can visit and learn the history of the flower fields, take classes or purchase bulbs to take away.
