Ranunculus is a genus of about 600 species of plants in the Ranunculaceae. In Late Latin Ranunculus means 'little frog' probably as many are found close to water. Ranunculus are also often referred to as Buttercups. They are a perennial plant with a tuberous root.
Amaryllis are cultivars of the genus Hippaestrum.These gorgeous flowers are cut from bulbous plants, open slowly, and last up to ten days in a vase. Also called the Belladonna Lily although they are a very distant relative to the true Lilium.
Tillandsia are the largest genus in the Bromeliad family and are native to Mexico, Central and South America, and some are also found in regions of the southeastern United States.
PURE BEAUTY!
Finally it is the time of Dutch grown Ranunculus. Bigger and fresher than their Italian and Israeli cousins.
Just a few pictures of this year's show.
