Ranunculus are popular decorative plants. Nowadays they often have well over 60 petals. This makes their flower heads look like little balls. The first ranunculus were brought to France by the famous botanist Carolus Clusius in the 16th century. Back then they had far fewer petals than they do today and looked like the wild ranunculus with cupped, simple flowers. Nevertheless, they enchanted people with their charm, so that their brown, claw-like shaped tubers like the bulbs of tulips were traded at breathtakingly high prices. They later found their way into the gardens of the less wealthy plant lovers.
