Flower ID please?

[AllLopsided]

Hello... not quite gardening, but I was sent this lovely bouquet at Christmas. Can anyone tell me what the big purple flowers are?

They look like roses?

Ranunculus?

Ranunculus

Ranunculus?

Look like roses to me too!

Peony possibly? Or ranunculus

Although, on closer inspection, Ranunculus, as suggested above, is more of a possibility

Thank you all - they are definitely ranunculus! Going to see if I can grow some this year!

That's an interesting bouquet. The smaller flowers are a type of clematis aren't they - I wouldn't have thought of using them as a cut flower but they work well. Did they last long?

Yes I think they are clematis! Sent through French interflora from Australian relatives. I know the local florist they used and they are generally good. I couldn't find the bouquet online (was looking to see if I could find it to identify the flowers). I love purple and I thought it was beautiful and unusual (I know too that sometimes when you ask for purple flowers you get pink or blue!) . It lasted well, looked perfect for a good week. Arrived on the 24th and is still OK - some of the clematis have drooped today and the ranunculus look like they might start to drop petals soon - but it did pretty well for this time of year!

Thanks! I might try bringing in a bit of the superabundance of clematis Montana I should have in a few months.

The little ones on the edge are clematis - look at the leaves. Agree the rose-like ones are probably ranunculus, but possibly eustoma/lisianthus?? Look at these:
