Same-Day Florist and Flower Delivery in Springboro, OH

Ranunculus is a client favorite among our Springboro Ohio florist team—perfect for weddings, rustic themes, and romantic gestures.

A sweet childhood game can be played out in fields of wildflowers near Springboro . Among the daisies and Queen Anne’s Lace, bright yellow tiny buttercups lie in wait ready to be picked and held underneath a person’s chin. If the yellow color reflects off the chin, to a child’s delight, it is said that the person likes butter.

Buttercups are a member of the Ranunculaceae family, the name stemming from the Latin meaning “little frog”, perhaps because they often bloom near ponds. Native to Asia, there are hundreds of varieties of ranunculs. The most common type cultivated for floral use today is the Tecolote variety. These rose-like flowers are a cousin of the peony and anemone. Their whorls of crepe paper thin petals create a lovely textured appearance.

There are many appealing features of the ranunculus.

They come in a stunning variety of colors including cream, pale yellow, apricot, soft pink, peach, orange, red and burgundy. They are available year round. They are long stemmed and can contain multiple blooms/buds along each stem. Their blossoms range in size from one to two and a half inches in diameter. They pair well with nearly every other flower and can be used for any style occasion.

For example, ranunculus adds grace to an oversized bouquet composed of peonies, roses, french tulips and dahlias. Compatible unique greenery might include olive or magnolia leaves, jasmine vine or sprigs of sage for a rustic look. For an elegant bouquet, one might stay with a simple grouping of ranunculus, lily of the valley and baby’s breath tied with satin ribbon.

For bridal showers or receptions, ranunculus make for beautiful floral decorative accents. Placing them in tall vases in various states of bloom alongside a mix of lavender, lilac and sweet pea and greenery creates a colorful display. Or you might choose a simpler look by placing all white bunches clustered together in low standing vases. Create a modern fresh composition by blending orange and yellow ranunculus with white roses.

Ranunculus are symbolic of charm and attractiveness. They have an almost fairytale-like quality and are able to create a blend of classical whimsy. Their demeanor adds feminine and romantic flair to any special occasion and it’s no wonder they are such a popular choice for bride’s everywhere.

Just like the reflective buttercup, the radiant ranunculus will surely bring joyful delight to any festive occasion.
