Crusaders of Louis IX discovered ranunculus growing in the Holy Land in the 13th Century. However, they overlooked this little flowering plant as nothing more than a swamp dweller.  Their main focus and delight were for the rose, tulip and later the peony.  The first ranunculas were introduced to Europe in the 17th century as a gift from Sultan Mohammed IV Persian Garden.   

Everyone loves peonies and roses, but it’s not until you really look at the ranuncula that you can see that it has the same structural qualities of both, but only smaller in form.  It seems such a shame that this darling little flower has been left so unnoticed for so long.  If you are looking for a bloom that transitionally bridges bigger rounder forms, then reach for a ranunculus.

In the language of flowers, it represents charm and versatility.
