I just learned a new word. Bleg. It’s when you use your blog to beg for information. Isn’t that a funny word? I certainly got a little chuckle from it. Anyway, that’s exactly what I plan to do in this post, ask you for information.
Have you ever grown ranunculus? I picked up six ranunculus tubers from the nursery yesterday. Three yellow ones, and three deep purple ones. That is, if I remember correctly. All the tubers look the same.
What should I do with them? Pot them together? Sprinkle them around my pots? Any and all ideas and information are greatly appreciated.
In case you’ve never heard of ranunculus before, check out this Wikipedia article. I also found this basic article about planting instructions.

LOL! Bleg!
It’s the first time I’ve heard of ranunculus, it almost like a marigold turned upside down.
Oh, I think ranunculus are much more beautiful than marigolds. Although I admit marigolds aren’t my favorite flower, so I may be biased. I think ranunculus look like a cross between a rose and a poppy.
Hi Fern,
I once planted some bulbs in a clear salad bowl, on a base of decorative pebbles (it was a project suggested in a gardening magazine). I kept it inside in a very sunny location. As the bulbs put out roots you could see them weaving amongst the pebbles through the side of the salad bowl. It looked great and was a talking point whenever visitors came around. Here’s a link to a picture of the “bowl of bulbs” just after they had gone into the”pot”:

Phillippa — That’s an interesting idea! What kind of bulbs did you put in the salad bowl?
