Say it With Ranunculas!

Ranunculas are quite possibly the best flower ever grown. One of their greatest advantages is the variety of color they come in. We grown them red, burgundy, yellow, orange, pink, hot pink, fuschia, purple, lavendar, white, and even green.  Pictured above is an arrangment of yellow, peach, and white varieties. White ranunculas are by far the best color for the flower. When fully opened it looks like an amazingly tasty marshmallow. The yellow and peach ranunculas add some flavor to the arrangement with color. Yellow ranunculas come in two tones, bright and pale. Orange ranunculas come in at least three different tones, a light orange, peach, and a deep-bright tone.
In the months of June and July, Skyline Flowers is one of only a handful of growers in the entire world that has ranunculas available. Being able to purchase these direct from the grower always ensures a level of freshness that is a cut above the rest.
