I posted this one long time back on my travel blog
But what can one about a rose?
A rose is a rose is a rose ...
Then there are Ranunculus.
Ranunculus, pronounced as ran-UN-kew-lus, is a latin word meaning "little frog". It has its origins in the middle east, hence it is also called as Turban Butercup.
Ranunculus belong to the Buttercup family (Ranunculaceae) and is the cultured cousin of the Marsh Marigold.
It has bright, rounded flowers atop dense green parsley-like foliage. It comes in a wonderful array of colors, with shades of red, purple, yellow, white, pink, and orange. You can even find copper ranunculus flowers and also ranunculus flowers with dark and yellow circles

Wonderful displays of two lovely flowers...very well captured shots!
I love that bouquet of yellow roses. I think you are posting it for the 3rd time and every time I see it, it brings a wide smile on my face.
Is Ranunculus shot from your neighbourhood ?
Good Luck !!
@Kalyan: Thanks!!
@Cuckoo: Thanks to you too!! Third time? No, they are not so over-exposed ;-) This is just the second time (posted it earlier on my travel blog)
The rananculus shot is also from 'Garden of 5 senses' [hadn't put up this one in the post].
And lastly, this one is not the competition :-D. This is for the flower-fest blog.
The monthly competition at my company is looking at "People" this time :-) And I am trying to come up with something for it.
Good Morning Sigma !!
