The long awaited for Ranunculus Buds finally opened. They look like a cross between roses and poppies to me...what do you think?
The colors are very bright and can be seen from way across the yard.
I have several others that are in bud mode, one plant with 5 buds on it.
Just as exciting I saw the first Ladybug of the season on one of my Cornflower buds.

Beautiful blooms, I do see a cross between rose and poppy. Happy Birthday to Middle Medium Kid :)
Those are nice. I might need to find me some. They look like peony poppies to me.
Hi Darla,
In the thumbnail, I thought it was a rose! Very pretty! So jealous that you are so far ahead of us:) I would dearly love to tour your yard while it's in full bloom! May you have the strength and energy to do all you want to do this summer.
So glad you had a good time! I was just thinking of your ranunculus this weekend when I saw them in a catalog. Awesome!
Happy 14th Birthday!!
They do look like a cross between poppies and roses. They are really pretty Darla.
Beautiful. I can only wait a few more weeks before I see my first blooms in my yard.
Wow Darla that really is a beautiful flower. It does look like the poppy to me. I know you were thrilled to find it in bloom.
Darla, those are wonderful! I grew Ranunculus one year and just loved them. Seeing yours makes me want them again. Are they hardy for you? They aren't here.
Their papery-thin petals all stacked and layered like that always remind me of phyllo pastry. LOL.
Happy Birthday MMK!!! The bloom isn't what I expected. It looks almost like a small, very double poppy. Very pretty.

How beautiful, you have to love spring!!! Have a great week!!!
Darla: So very cool, what a great flower. Loved the ladybug.
These Ranunculus are quite possibly the most beautiful flowers I've ever seen!!! I'm not sure I've ever seen them before. I think they are prettier than roses and gosh, just about any other of this type bud. WOW! I am seriously in love.
Happy birthday to the Middle Medium Kid and congratulations on the Superior ratings. Your ranunculus are beautiful. We have yet to see any lady bugs up here.
Congratulations to the band! I remember how much fun band competition was, always like it better than solo & ensemble contest.
I'm drooling over your Ranunculus. I've become smitten with them this year. I especially like the color of the first one.
I think they are beautiful! I saw orange and yellow ones at the Chicago Botanical Garden and thought they were perfectly lovely. gail
Darla they are gorgeous. I love all of the petals packed up together.So pretty!
Oh.My.Goodness Darla, it is more beautiful then I ever expected!
I've been waiting for it to bloom here on your blog-It's the next best thing to having it in my backyard!
Thanks so much for sharing it!

Hi Darla, Happy Birthday to your Medium Middle Kid...
Your Ranunculus is gorgeous!!! I can't wait to see some color here--but today, we have snow and cold and dreary weather!!!! Yuk!
Hugs,

Like a Spanish dancer's skirts...
I was at the nursery yesterday and saw many ranunculus still tight within their buds and I thought of yours. Thank you for posting their beautiful blooms.
I definitely agree, they do look like a cross between roses and poppies. Nice!
G'day Darla ~ Such beautiful florals they are ... Happy birthday to MMK.
Happy spring.
Have a beautiful week.
TTFN, Hugs ~ Marydon

Love them! Jean
The Ranunculus is beautiful. It looks like a cross between a poppy and a rose to me too.
Ranunculus...beautiful flowers. They are so vivid in color. I want some. Love the strength they portray.
Happy 14th to your youngster...impressionable age
Blessings
Congrats to your daughter and her band! That's very exciting!
The flowers look so pretty, they do remind me of a rose/poppy combo.
I just have to say .... WOW!
Great blooms you shared here.

I don't think those grow here. They do remind me of poppies and roses. The colors also remind me of moss rose.
I forgot to say congratulations on your ladybug siting.
As always, your header photo is awesome.
Oh I think I'm gonna have to get some of those ranunculus! How pretty! It is so nice to see things blooming again. Happy days are here again!
Glad to hear you had a fun time on the field trip.
I agree, the Ranuculus do look like a cross. Pretty. Maybe they should be called Posies. Or maybe that's where that word came from. tee hee
