ranunculus is back!

so we are officially in the dead of winter - and (at least here in nyc) we still have at least a couple more months of bone-chilling weather ahead of us.

which is sad.

BUT - there's a bright side to it... this is the time of year that we start seeing my favorite flower, ranunculus popping up here and there - and it makes me believe that i can, in fact, make it to spring! it is such a happy little flower, and is usually mixed with other spring flowers which are equally as cheerful...

as evidenced on some of my favorite flower blogs:

studio choo

anticipation (i think this arrangement is my fave!)

saipua

...and more saipua


yay, ranunculus!
