# Cutting Edge Bouquets Ranunculus. Anemones and Peonies are the New Roses By Kari Bauce | Published 2009-05-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/may-flowers-ranunculus-and-anemones-and-peonies References: [veilsandvows.blogspot](http://veilsandvows.blogspot.com/2009/02/anemone-i-love-you.html) Roses are dead, violets are through. If you’re looking for real trends in flowers these days, they’re more rustic in feel and impossible to pronounce. Ranunculus look a lot like full bloom roses but have a lovely softness to them. They come in just about every shade of the rainbow. Anemones are white flowers with a pop of navy blue in the middle. Whether they’re displayed as a single bloom, or part of a [larger arrangement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowerlore-collection), they’re unique enough to spark a conversation. What can you say about peonies? Gorgeous, [fragrant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floral-scented-candle), and so large you need very few of them to [fill a vase](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bouqs-company).
