my favourite flower for September

It has to be the most beautiful season for flowers. We are blessed to see the sunshine yellow daffidols sprouting through the grass and the bees are thriving on the nectar of berries and lavender bushes are alive with the buzz of them.

Although its hard to say which beautiful flower I would call my favourite for this month I am very fond of the Ranunculus
.



Its hard to state why this flower is so very special in the world of weddings.... its the unfolding of the soft tissue like petals and the loose look they have in a BQ that makes them so charming. They are surprising in the density they have as well which makes them last longer than anticipated. In weddings they look like a cottage flower and match a vintage theme perfectly as they are often in soft pastel tones.


For those interested in the botanical side of these flowers, I believe they are in the same family as the buttercup.

The name Ranunculus is Late Latin for "little frog," from rana "frog" and a diminutive ending. This probably refers to many species being found near water, like frogs
