I was not very keen on pink as a child, probably because I was forced to wear it far too often. Now I am more appreciative of this color especially as it appears in nature. These are the petals of a ranunculus flower.

“Little Frogs”

On the way into work this morning, I spied a bank of buttercups nestled beneath some bushes. I had no camera in-hand, so I picked a few plants to sit on my desk as a reminder of the outside. It’s kind of amazing how memory works because as I look at the plants I am reminded of childhood, making mudpies and decorating them with buttercups. Anyway … I googled the plants and have learned the following:
- Buttercups are part of the genus ranunculus that has approximately 400 species.
- Somtimes the petals are white, but the centers are always yellow.
- It’s poisonous!
- The name is derived from the latin word for “little frog”
For some amazing visuals, check out this site for buttercups, up close and personal. 😉
