Spring flowers are on the Flower Agenda in March 2018

Spring is about to arrive - the perfect opportunity to celebrate with not one, but three Spring-time flowers in the Flower Agenda: ranunculus, anemone and Leucospermum. Consumers can read all about these Spring blooms at Funnyhowflowersdothat.co.uk.

The origin of ranunculus, anemone and Leucospermum
Ranunculus originally comes all the way from Central Asia. By a roundabout route the flower finally ended up in Europe, where it was given its official name: Ranunculus. The anemone originates from southern Europe and Asia. The South African Leucospermum originally grew on rocky slopes on the coasts in the south-west of the Cape of Good Hope.

Shapes and colours
The ranunculus comes in white, yellow, orange, pink, red and purple. Although originally orange, Leucospermum now also comes in ochre, lemon and a reddish colour. You can buy anemones in white, pink, red to violet and blue. There are around 120 varieties. Some have a single row of petals, others have more.

Symbolism of spring flowers
Spring flowers ranunculus, anemone and Leucospermum are bursting with symbolism, from pride and vanity through to expectation, consideration and honesty. Plenty of options for giving someone a real surprise.
