This is the first time there are ranunculus in the garden. I did not know that the petals turn to ruffles as the flowers mature. So, to me, that was new and worth recording in a photo. 🙂

No, it did not rain. My children, who think it’s summer and are having a blast with the hose, happened upon these poor flowers. They are what remained after my 1.6 years old found the flowers so pretty and yanked a stem from the plant.
I am linking with FRIZZTEXT’S Tagged “R” photo prompt.
Such luscious flowers.
They are. They have so many many layers of petals. 🙂
They are gorgeous!
Flowers are to be enjoyed and your 1.6 year old clearly enjoyed them – that is a good thing!!! 🙂
Have never seen these before Imelda. They are gorgeous.
This was the first time I saw those flowers too. The day I saw them displayed in Lowe’s, a shopper bought all of Lowe’s stock – all three flatbeds of them.
i could wear a necklace of these ruffles !
You gave me an idea – flowers as fashion inspiration. Last time, I posted a muscari and I thought that it was the inspiration for the puff sleeve. 😀
That’s a new one on me! However did you know it’s name?!?!
The water dew made it so alive and vibrant. Beautiful!
dropping by Imelda to congratulate you for winning the second prize for the ” Letter to god contest. I sent you a mail. Hope you received it. I want some information from you how I can send the prize to you:)
Awesome flowers by the way:)
Thanks, Joy. I sent a reply by e-mail. E-mail uli ako ha? 🙂
Very beautiful flowers. I didn’t know what they were called. Thanks for sharing.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
I would not have ither, Francine, if not for the tag on the plant. This was the first time I saw them in the stores.
They look good enough to eat, like sherbet. Beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing.
Such beautiful flowers, Imelda. Lovely pics. 🙂
thank you for linking your “Red Ruffled Ranunculus” with my “Tagged R” photo prompt!
You’re welcome. 🙂 I was glad to do so.
After the flowers fade. For some lucky gardeners with perfectly drained, cool soil, the tubers can stay in place and be treated like any perennial that comes back year after year. But this is rare. Most gardeners treat ranunculus as annuals, disposing of them after bloom. You could pull and compost plants, or leave them in place to fade away. In most gardens, the tubers will rot in moist summer soils. More ambitious gardeners can save the tubers for replanting next year. Let blooms fade and plants dry out. Lift tubers, cut off tops, and store in a dry, cool place for planting next year.
