a lovely hand drawn diagram of the botanical wonder that is the ranunculus flower, printed by hand onto a one of a kind book page. this print makes a fantastic gift for your mother, favorite gardener, neighbor, teacher or new homeowner.
the ranunculus is one of my very favorite flowers. some species are popular ornamental flowers in horticulture, with many cultivars selected for large and brightly coloured flowers. 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. it's a large genus of about 400 species of plants in the ranunculaceae, which includes the buttercups, spearworts, water crowfoots and the lesser celandine. they're mostly herbaceous perennials with bright yellow or white flowers (if white, still with a yellow centre). a few have orange or red flowers. the petals are often highly lustrous, especially in yellow species.
it arrives matted on an 8x10 mat for easy framing, and comes in a protective biodegradable / compostable cello sleeve.
material: hand printed vintage book page.
size: pages are approximately 7.25" x 5.25". comes with white 8"x10" post-consumer recycled mat board in a biodegradable cello sleeve.
notes: you will not receive the exact print in the photo, since each print is one of a kind and printed on an original page, but you'll get another print on a page. it'll be similar and totally wonderful.
