Your favorite flower

some of you will think this thread is a bit absurd coming from me, but here goes....

What is your absolute favorite flower?

I have 2 actually. My orchids which adore neglect and bloom in the darkest of winter here in the miserable northeast. But hands down my "I don't care if all the other species die off tomorrow" favorite bloom are my peonies.

We had a threat of a heavy storm so last night I clipped two large bunches of my light pink double peonies for my house. A storm would have blown them to bits.

These were the very first perennials I planted here when we bought the house and each year for just under 10 days I am thrilled too have them.

No matter how much I complain about our weather here, I really don't think I could move where peonies couldn't grow.

I can't believe you said peonies. I don't grow them, but if I could choose only one flower to be my favorite, that would absolutely be it. A close second would be rununculas, after that some exotic lilies, then lilacs, or maybe lilacs before lilies....

Lilies.....I love all Lilies, including Cala Lily.

I almost moved my wedding out 6 weeks so I could have them....




I love my lilacs and my longer blooming perennials and lillies but peonies are my IT flower. Maybe because they are here for only a short time each year.

I am allergic to many flowers. My throat tends to close up with their scents. But I absolutely love irises.

Impossible question

It's like looking at an entire class of kindergarten children and asking which is your favorite. I love roses, ranunculas, irises, peonies, poppies, pansies, lilies, etc., etc., etc. Hell, I even like dandelions.

I think the easier question is....what flower don't you like....
Irises, peonies, hydrangeas...I have some absolutely gorgeous deep blue serratas...and beautiful PG's

My very favourite would be blue hydrangeas, and then tulips. Although...the first blooms of my roses are not too shabby neither!

For me, it's a toss up between gladioli and roses.

I absolutely hate paper-white narcissus. They smell awful, and remind me of death.

Sweet peas. I absolutely love sweet peas. They remind me of my Grandma's garden. She had them everywhere & her garden smelled heavenly.

Camellias and hydrangeas.
