Question of the Day, Wednesday June 2

[catkiki]

I am a bit tired this morning, as usual. I really need to get used to my new shift..


What is your all time favorite flower/ flower combination to receive in a bouquet?

My favorite flowers are daisies and carnations. I really love them. My ideal bouquet would be filled with daisies, baby's breath with a few carnations and rose buds.

Carnations, but because Rosie bends them then bites their heads off to play with my next choice is Roses

 

[pushylady]

Gosh I don't know I don't get given flowers!

Actually, I love all flowers, but I suppose my favourites are orchards and lilies.

 

[gailc]

Its been many,many years since I've received a bouquet of flowers. Oops I take that back the past three years I but a tropical flower bouquet at a garden show!
If I could ever get a fantasy bouquet it would be filled with orchids and other non native/tropical flowers.

 

[ruthyb]

I love roses, especially pink ones. x

 

[-_aj_-]

sunflowers, dark red roses, and iris's they are my favs in a bouquet

 

[p&r]

Calla Lillies are my absolute favorite, if I could get a bouquet of red calla lillies and white tulips, I'd totally swoon, LOL! Other than those two I love orchids.

 

[mbjerkness]

I love flowers. In the garden my favorite is pansies. In a bouquet I don't have a favorite

 

[swampwitch]

I love red, purple, and blue flowers; tulips, lillies (all types) gerbera daisies, statice, and roses.

Pretty much never met a bouquet I didn't like.

Ok... I'm officially weirded out here! Last night, around 7pm when watering the flowers up front I thought "hey, asking favorite flower would be an easy QOTD for someone".

I don't like bouquets. They die too quickly,...cost too much, and I can't even have them anyways with the cats.


Favorite flowers to have growing are crysthanamums - for their hardiness and the large number of flowers one plant will put off. I also love thistle flowers. They're a lovely shade of purple and if you can have them in a vase, cut they last for a long time.

I love all flowers, and pretty much all bouquets, but the flower that I love the most, that puts a quiet smile on my face and, depending on my mood, a tiny tear in my eye, is freesia. And since I find many people don't know it by name...http://www.google.com/images?client=...ed=0CC0QsAQwAA

 

[Winchester]

I can't have flowers in the house because the cats will think it's lunchtime. When people get me flowers, they're usually sent to my office.

I love all flowers, but carnations are the best.

Oh, those smell so good!

 

[catlover19]

My favourite flower is gerbera daisies.

 

[farleyv]

My favs are lilacs and wild roses. We have quite a few wild rose bushes near our house and our trail in the woods is lined with them.

The air smells like cinnamon gum! They are very spicy.

 

[tara g]

I love tulips and roses

Ideal bouquet would have all sorts of colors of both.

For Valentine's Day, hubby sent me tulips at work, and for our anniversary he brought me 2 roses for 2 years married

 

[calico2222]

My favorite flower are Stargazer-lilies but they don't do well cut so instead of a bouquet give me bulbs. Or buy me a rose bush I could actually plant and enjoy year after year.

For an actual bouquet, I like baby carnations or better yet, wild flowers.

 

[marycatherine]

favorite flowers: sunflowers, poppies, lilies

favorite bouquets: for something fun, those really bright multicolored dyed gerbera daisies.

or if it's romantic, get me a boatload of tulips.

I do like wild flower bouquets - but many of the flowers are fairly dangerous, thus can't be in the house.

Gaillardia is one that very beautiful but toxic. Buttercups are bad news all together.
I don't believe any thistles are? and they're the only flower I can cut and not have the cats actually mess with the flower... they still knock the vase over, though.

My favorite flower is daisy, but I prefer to see them in nature than in a bouquet.
