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.”
These flowers surely do dazzle me, they have got to be the most beautiful flower ever. Well at least until the peonies bloom.
Prints available in the Etsy shop, as well as pillows and phone cases.
Thanks so much for stopping by......Sylvia
