I took this photo of ranunculus at the 2011 San Francisco Flower and Garden Show <\/a>(which is coming up again this week, March 20-24.)
\nWho knew ranuncs came tissue-petaled in cinnamon brown and pale peach? Last fall I tried like mad to find a selection of tubers with colors similar to these with no success at all. Local sources of tubers come in primary colors: Red, dark pink, white, yellow. <\/p>\n

I settled for orange and cut the first flowers just yesterday from my community garden plot. <\/p>\n

\nRiddle me this: Why do cut flower growers have access to an amazing selection of colors while the home grower does not?
\nColors like these need to be shared.<\/p>\n

Willow Creek Gardens<\/a> offers a couple offbeat colors like ‘Merlot’ and ‘Flamenco,’ both from the California grower Carlsbad Flower Fields,<\/a> which opens its flower fields March 1 thru May 12, 2013, an event that sounds similar to the flower extravaganzas more common in the Netherlands. I’ve never attended before. I likewise haven’t ordered from Willow Creek Gardens before, but they get good reviews on davesgarden<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ranunculus are amazing cut flowers. Please tempt us with more varied and complex colors, okay?<\/p>\n
