What Flower is this??


Snapped this in my garden here in Michigan...

And it's perfect for "what's this flower?" Wednesdays...

We have some exciting news coming soon about
"What's this Flower Wednesdays"...

Stay tuned for our big announcement coming up in
September...

Today's Flower is part of a genus of over 600 species...
including butter cups, spearworts and water crowfoots...

The petals are often lustrous... as evident in this picture...
the plant grows from a node... so are most generally perennial in nature...

The name - means "little frog" in latin... and is thought to be inspired because many species thrive near the water's edge...




P.S. We call this Flower- Ranunculus ... to see millions of them...watch my visit to the Carlsbad Flower Fields here!
