I just love 'em. Love their blowsey fullness, how they look like a poppy that has gotten a beehive hairdo. I just looked them up on Wiki and found that they are actually a part of the buttercup family - who knew? And the ones I'm the most smitten with are called Persian Buttercups. Go figure.
I think part of my love of ranunculus (besides saying the word which is really FUN) is that they remind me of some of those romantic romantic European flower painting by van Aelst, Jan Bruegel the Elder, Manet, Monet, you name it.
