Cafe Au Lait Ranunculus

I decided to try ranunculus last year. I ordered and planted them later than recommended, but I had seen so many pots at the garden centers and decided I wanted some of my own. When I saw this color combination, I was sold! All the bulbs arrived and looked shriveled. I was worried that maybe because I waited too long and got clearance ones they were no good. I followed the instructions to soak them in water and they plumped up in no time. They were all healthy and sprouted. Only a few flowered last year but it was enough to make me order a second batch this year. I successfully over wintered my first order and got them planted at a more suitable time this spring. I am waiting on this year's order to have even a larger patch!
