The fall for some is the end of the seasonal rotation just prior to the completion of natures death. However for some of us, it is the time of year in which we begin to envision the flowers of spring. As we plant our bulbs, the only thing we can do is wait. The wait at times seems dark and uneventful. But when you least expect it, it arrives! Growing up in Southern California, we anticipated the flower fields in Carlsbad every year. The patchwork of bold colors blanketed the hillside. It was beauty at it's absolute best!!! Ranunculus are the only flower that blooms there, and as far as we are concerned, there is no other flower in comparison! Anywhere!!!!
No longer living in California, we've chosen to plant our ranunculus in different ways. Look around for the perfect container. In our case it is this vintage tin. Plant the ranunculus inside. Adding other flowers around it may create some depth, but the ranunculus can easily stand alone. Oh the excitement it will bring you defying the phrase that "Beauty is only TIN deep!"
