The ranunculus is our favorite flower. We are aware that we have made more of them than is probably necessary. We have made them in ivory and blush and coral and rust and now fir green with the word butterfly in front of it. Every time we finish one we tell ourselves this is the last ranunculus and then we look at it and make another ranunculus. The Fir Green Butterfly Ranunculus — 3.7 inches across, ceramic, one screw, no water — is the most recent evidence of this pattern. We are not expecting the pattern to change.
