It seems that every year I learn of a flower I’d never heard of before, and have no recollection of ever having seen.  Apparently, the new-to-me flower simply hadn’t caught my attention before, having been there all along.  This year’s discovery is the ranunculus.  I’d never heard of it, and there it was – all over the Sunken Garden at the McNeely Conservatory in Saint Paul.  I overheard others commenting, “Oh, see the sign!  It is a ranunculus, just as I thought!”,  so I knew it hadn’t suddenly emerged out of the ethers.  Whatever it’s history, they delighted me this last spring!  This little photo is an example of why they did!
