The more I photograph flowers, the more I learn about them and the families they belong to. The Ranunculus or buttercup family is one that I’ve discovered I like an awful lot of flowers that are members of the family! So often I photograph a flower at a garden and then come home to learn that it too is a member of the Ranculus family. Here are a few more photos of flowers in this wonderful family.
Eastern Red Columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) at Mt Cuba Center
Dwarf Larkspur (Delphinium tricorne) at Mt Cuba Center
Purple Columbine at Longwood Gardens
