Sensation score: *****

After all, the most sensational flowers were these ranunculuses.
First of all, this plant does not like to be soaking wet . Unfortunately, California is the midst of rainy season, while they were growing between January and March. Foliage got weak if it gets wet.
Moreover, this plant seems to be Aphids' favourite, and it became aphids' paradice very quickly, even after using large amount of pesticide.
However, it is mysterious that planted ranunculuses in nurseries don't have aphids. Do they have any tricks?

Here is How to Grow Ranunculus.
