The flowers referred to as "Ranunculus" in the floral trade are
Ranunculus asiaticus, also known as "Persian buttercup." In
the Victorian era, sending these colorful flowers meant "You
are radiant with charms", "You are rich in attractions." The
Latin meaning of Ranunculus is "little frog."

- In fairy tales frogs are apt to change into princes
and it was an Asian prince in just such a story who gave
his name to this flower, which grows naturally in
swampy ground. The prince was so good-looking that
he was loved by everyone. He also had a beautiful
voice but this was his undoing.
He loved the open country and sang delightful
songs in the presence of nymphs. He did not have the
courage to declare his love to them and this haunted
him so much that he died. After his death he was
changed into the flower with delicate tissuey petals
which bears his name.
