Love your hat, you look so pretty with it on. Very cool about the Ranunculous! Also to report back on my Apple Blossom Snapdragons which I had not pulled last year in zone 5b- They bloomed their heads off in the spring, I would say even stronger than the year before, they did wane somewhat in the summer just like they had last year, then took off again in the fall with an amazing display. I added Madam Butterfly Snaps this year and have not pulled either, put a light layer of leaves on them. Staking is necessary & pinching back to keep bushier is probably a good idea. I didn-t do enough of either, I just cut for bouquets as needed but they looked great still. My neighbors loved the great big swaths of both kinds by the sidewalk & I gave away many beautiful arrangements complimented with Apricot king Asters, Queen lime red zinnias & green zinnias.

I am having the same experience with a pot of ranunculus that i just never got around to pulling and storing. I kept meaning to store them in vermiculite but had other things to do. The pot was growing clover and wild lamium when i just decided to clean it up and put it away because of the overnight temps here in zone 7a. As i'm pulling out the weeds, I said holy cow those are ranunculus and they are fairly large though not blooming yet. But it is forecasted to be 70+ degrees this Saturday. So who knows. Maybe all that pampering and storing is really unnecessary.

My amaryllis bloom is emerging!
It's outside now in 8b, Old Town Florida near the Suwannee river. 1st plant.
Thanx for the tutorial and tour! I loved my mother and you show everyone you love yours! Beautiful display of winter. But I would put a bow on that outdoor arrangement.
A big red bow, oh my!
Make everything just P O P!
and the Bird's arrangement was like a CALENDAR PICTURE! You must make one! Oh dear! I would purchase it! Many of us would!

The nursery ) you went to has nothing on the arrangements you make! I loved seeing the bluebird on the swag you made for the birds and the entryway pot arrangement for your mother, gorgeous! I wish I were close enough to Longwood to -just swing by- but it's 1 1/2 to 2 hours away and my dog would be doing her pee pee dance long before I got back home! Maybe an overnight stay at a pet friendly B&B with her kennel would be a way to visit. Christmas present from me to me! ---

Just amazing about the ranunuculus! Shows they are more cold hardy than we thought! Look forward to hearing more about you testing this out. We have had such a mild fall so far, even a few record breaking warmer temperatures so maybe that can also encourage them to restart. Please update us on how it handles the snow and cold! Thanks so much for your informative videos. I'm sure your Mom and Dad will love all of the gifts that you brought them!

I left my ranuncs in a raised bed ( zone 6b) and they are definitely greening and bulking up
. I-m going to cover them in a thick layer of leaves and frost cloth until late February or March- fingers crossed they make it though the winter. I did order new ones just in case. But I did get a rebloom on my anemone plant this fall! I was very surprised and it was one of my last blooms to pick right before Thanksgiving.

Last year a few leftover ranunculus corms came up in the winter but no blossoms. This year I have several growing now but still no blooms. I'm going to cover them with some shredded leaves and see if I can baby them along! Who knows, maybe we should just keep the corms in the ground like daffodil bulbs and enjoy them yearly! I live in Southeast Pennsylvania 10 minutes from Longwood Gardens.

The weather has really been very mild! My strange anomaly this fall was my drumstick alliums have came up! Super strange! It is so funny you mention ranunculus, my daughter and I are on week 2 of pre-sprouting a few of ours as an experiment (zone 5b) we got a soil heat cable, some hoops, and our cloth to go over the top. Going to see if we can winter over some of them.

The Ranunculus - Nature never ceases to amaze me!
I hope you'll keep us updated on it's activity. I don't have any Ranunculus - yet. But I will!
AND I live in the South, zone 8a, I wonder if they would bloom twice a year over here too?
Or maybe your colder temps are stimulating it?
Whichever, having it bloom in December is very - cool!

To exist simply to add beauty to the world is to me a most worthy thing.
And is that not what you do yourself at Northlawn, Danielle? Is it not so for all the flowers you cultivate, or the pollinators, butterflies and birds which visit? It makes for a happier world for all of us. Thank you!

Is that lovely blooming bulb some sort of squill or Scilla? I-m always sad I can-t grow it so I-ve never ordered it. It-s so otherworldly, almost looks like it belongs under the sea - Also I-m so jealous you can pop over to Longwood! It-s great that you make good use of your close proximity.

Love it! So funny about the ranunculus! I had some corms accidentally left in the ground From this Spring and they started responding about a month ago. No blooms but I bet you if I would have provided them a little bit of cover they would have bloomed! (I'm zone 6b)

In a year where I harvested the last fresh tomatoes in Northeastern PA on Nov 8th, planted garlic on Thanksgiving and the last 500 tulip bulbs today, Dec. 8th, why not ranunculus in December? The garden season seems to have turned upside down.

Loved this video! What are the red berry branches you got out of your yard? I love the look of those, they're so beautiful and airy! Watching you had also made me want to visit Longwood gardens, it looks so beautiful for Christmas. --

Such a great video! From the beautiful container you made for your mom to Terrain and then of course Longwood-perfect! Did you get some of the Eucalyptus Pods? I bought some from Briar Rose when I was up there. They are fabulous!

So cool what happened to your ranunculus! I'm never grown them (yet) but is it close to your house or a wall? I had a rose in my cottage garden that kept blooming even after many brrr winter nights! I need to duplicate that baby!

Yes I have that bulb! It bloomed for the first time this year. I have no idea how to care for it so please share how you treat it? I left it outside during the summer but I moved it into the house once it got cold.

I am 8b PNW, and leave my ranunculas in ground and in pots. They go dormant in summer, and green leaves return in fall, but have never seen a reblooming, that would be amazing.
