Flower of the month: ranunculus

I've decided to start a new series on this blog: each month, I will highlight one of my favorite flowers of the season.  

For the month of March, it's the beautiful ranunculus, a predominantly spring flower. I absolutely love ranunculus. They resemble small garden roses and peonies with petals like tissues and a mild scent. They come in a variety of colors except for blue and black. They have delicate and hollow stems, which are unfortunately prone to breaking. It's also prone to rotting, so the water level in the vase needs to be kept low. Water should also be changed often. If cared for properly, their vase life is 7 to 10 days. They're high-maintenance flowers but so pretty and definitely worth it!
