Ranunculus first caught the attention of gardeners in the Ottoman Empire before spreading throughout Europe. The name ranunculus actually comes from the Latin word for "little frog," a playful nod to the wildflowers that naturally thrive near marshes and streams. However, today's cultivated varieties feel worlds apart from those humble beginnings. Their tightly layered petals and luminous color have made ranunculus a favorite of gardeners, floral designers, and wedding bouquets alike and our Crepe Coral La Belle Ranunculus is no less stunning.
This Master Class celebrates the details for which ranunculus is so admired. Using flamingo and pink peony double-sided crepe paper, we'll allow the natural color variation to emerge as the petals gradually open around the center. Rather than relying on paint or pastel, the paper itself creates gentle shifts in tone that make every layer feel luminous. We'll also introduce a newly designed leaf with delicately scored veins, adding another level of realism to the finished stem.
With ninety-two petals, this Crepe Coral La Belle Ranunculus asks for your time, but it rewards every minute you give it. As the bloom grows, each new layer adds a little more fullness, softness, and character. Before long, what began as a handful of individual petals becomes a flower that's almost impossible to stop admiring.
As your Master Class collection grows, so do the possibilities. Use the Crepe Coral La Belle Ranunculus as the centerpiece of an arrangement, allow the Crepe Clematis Blue Light to trail naturally between the stems, and finish with the painterly color of the Amazing Parrot Tulip. The combination creates depth, movement, and a bouquet that feels freshly gathered from the garden.
