Can you guess what this is? It’s a pretty popular Spring flowering bulb…
Still puzzled?
If you couldn’t work it out don’t feel so bad. When I first saw this in my local florist I did a double take as it was totally new to me too. It’s actually a variety of ranunculus. Have a look at the photo below and you’ll see the resemblance, especially with the younger flowers which haven’t fully opened.
I haven’t been able to find out it’s name so I assume it is still only available commercially to cut flower growers. I look forward to the day that it is released as a bulb for home gardeners to grow. I’ll be first in line!
