Butterfly Ranunculus Orange 120 stems

Butterfly Ranunculus Orange 120 stems

  • Distinctive Appearance: They differ from traditional ranunculus with their semi-double, slightly cupped blooms and a subtle shimmer to their petals, often described as a satin-like finish. This unique petal texture creates an airy, butterfly-like appearance, adding a whimsical touch to arrangements.
  • Multiple Blooms per Stem: Unlike single-flowered ranunculus, butterfly ranunculus typically feature several blooms (3 to 7 or more, depending on the variety) on each stem. This translates to a fuller, more impactful look in arrangements, and potentially reduces the number of stems needed, making them a cost-effective option.
  • Longer Vase Life: The petals possess a natural wax coating that contributes to a surprisingly durable bloom and extends their freshness. This translates to a vase life that can last up to two weeks with proper care.
  • Color Variety: They come in a range of colors, including soft pastels, vibrant yellows, pinks, oranges, and deep purples. Some varieties like 'Butterfly Ariadne' boast soft pinks, while others like 'Terracotta' have burnt orange and copper tones. 'Eris' is praised for its rosy-peach color.
  • Long, Sturdy Stems: Their robust, branching stems are ideal for floral design, offering both length and support for the blooms.
  • Availability: Butterfly ranunculus are typically available from January through May in California. YEAR ROUND from South America farms.

This vibrant species of Ranunculus is single or double-flowering with the same delicate

papery textured petals that we admire in the more familiar plump Ranunculus variety.

Lively and happy-go-lucky anemone-like flowers have a brilliant presence, with immediate

color, volume and delicate texture.

Ranunculus are sustainably grown in hoop

houses in Northern & Southern California

under the coastal sunshine.

14 days.

BUNCHES: 10+ stems, also available as

Consumer Bunches.

CARE & HANDLING: Upon arrival cut

stems and place into a clean container with

fresh, tepid water and fresh flower food

solution. (It is especially important to trim

stem ends if plant appears fatigued.)

Remove any foliage below the water. Keep

in cool location out of direct sunlight and

drafts. Replenish water as needed.

Pinch off individual expired blooms to

make room for new emerging flowers.

Taking care of flowers purchased in bulk is essential to maintain their freshness and extend their vase life, especially if you're using them for resale, events, or arrangements. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you process and care for bulk flowers:

Initial Processing Upon Arrival

  1. Unpack Immediately

    • Remove flowers from boxes carefully to avoid damage.
    • Keep them in a cool, shaded area during unpacking.

  2. Inspect and Sort

    • Check for damaged or wilted stems and remove them.
    • Sort by type and stem length if needed.

  3. Hydration Prep

    • Remove any foliage that will be below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.
    • Recut stems at a 45° angle under running water or submerged in water to prevent air bubbles.

  4. Use Clean Containers

    • Sanitize buckets or vases before use.
    • Fill with fresh, lukewarm water and add floral preservative (contains sugar, acidifier, and biocide).

Conditioning and Storage

  1. Hydration Period

    • Let flowers hydrate for 4–12 hours in a cool, dark place before arranging or selling.

  2. Temperature Control

    • Store at 34–38°F (1–3°C) for most flowers.
    • Avoid storing near fruits (especially apples) which emit ethylene gas that can age flowers prematurely.

  3. Humidity

    • Maintain high humidity (around 90%) to prevent dehydration.

Ongoing Care

  1. Daily Maintenance

    • Change water every 1–2 days.
    • Recut stems every few days to improve water uptake.
    • Remove any wilting or dead flowers promptly.

  2. Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat

    • Keep flowers away from heat sources, drafts, and direct sunlight.

  3. Use Floral Preservatives

    • Continue using preservatives with each water change to nourish and protect the flowers.
