What are some of your favorite flowers or plants?

For me, I love flowers shaped like bells like tulips, bellflowers, foxglove, and Canterbury bells. I also love hydrangeas. I bought three hydrangea bushes last year but I apparently killed them. :bawling:

I really like wild flowers, as well as herbs :)

I just learned about a new perennial I saw at the Botanic Garden and really liked called Verbascum. I also like tulips, roses, gladiolas, geraniums, orchids and peonies.

I love flowers of all types. My two favorites are daffodils and the big showy moth orchids. I love daffodils because they are the first showy flowers in the spring, at least here they are first.

I love the scent of roses but I don't really take much notice of flowers generally. They're a pretty background, very nice to see, but I don't know much about them or think about them.

Roses, forget-me-nots, tulips, daffodils....

Flowers are pretty, but I'm a plant killer, so I admire from afar.

I absolutely do not care about flowers at all, and my cats would try to eat them anyway. For plants I like vegetables. Greens are my favorite, and hot peppers.

Where my cats are
I absolutely love lilacs. The scent, the color, the look....I need more around my yard.

I'm also a big fan of Calibrachoa! And petunias. I get multiple colors of those every year for around the yard. I love the colorful varieties of cone flowers. Black eyed susans. Marigolds. Verbena! African daisies. Gomphrena are new to me but I'm loving them this year. Lantana is fun too.
