My favorite are Daisies but Hubby likes to bring home Orchids.

Despite the purple orchid in my avatar, I am a rose girl.  :)

I like these and a few others, but these ones the most!

You ever seen Black Roses? They're rare, but I think I've actually heard of them being genuine flowers.



Woah, really? I didn't think those existed. That's awesome.

Azaleas  :)

I really like Sunflowers.  When they get really big, they are so pretty to look at :)

I like the pansies. They have little faces on them. :D

I like Gerbera Daisies. :)

I hate flowers, they depress me.

I think Orchids are beautiful.

Get back to the oddest members thread, Phil.  ;D

Self-raising...!!

I'm very partial to the rose, and have quite a few dotted around the garden...some came with the house and some were my own handiwork...

They're pretty easy to maintain, as soon as you've mastered the art of pruning and 'dead-heading'...greenfly aren't normally a problem nowadays, but beware of the dreaded 'rust' fungus on the leaves...

I love:

Yellow Roses too, but you know what they look like, so I don't have to post a picture

Hmmm...I don't have a particular favorite offhand - they're all pretty (I like picking 'em out too). :)

I guess in general, I like Daisies or especially anything "colored" (yellow and orange are probably my favorite color flowers).

Tulips followed by daisies.

I really like Sunflowers.  When they get really big, they are so pretty to look at :)




sunflowers have always creeped me out...I don't like flowers that are taller than myself! LOL!

Cannot remember, for I have had plenty of concoctions of wine in my time.

I like magnolias, tulips, poppies, camellias, azaelas (and/or rhododendrons),  and much more.. I like roses, too, but I can never remember the name of all the cultivars out there. So many!

Here are some rhododendrons -

Is that who you get your samples from, eh?  ;D

My uncle used to make pineapple wine.

Sorry, I am guilty of hi-jacking this thread.  :-[

I love snap-dragons and fushias too.

Also, Bugenvilias (although I think this is not the right spelling) They are lovely, too!

Oh what a pretty garden that is!  I love gardens, I just don't like to be the one DOING the gardening.  Love walking or sitting in them though.

Tee hee. I think we can add those to Phil and mine's list of edible flowers.


You can make tea out of Chamomile (I think *that's* a flower too).

I too, like the Flowering Cherry trees from Japan.  Absolutely stunning.  I understand Magnolia trees are lovely too (although I've never seen any live and in living color).

Yeah, you're right. Chamomile is a flower or at least a flowering tree :0) I forgot about Flowering cherry myself. Those are very beautiful, as well. Magnolias are fairly easy to spot - even when they're not flowering. They are usually very white, wide blooms with thick, dark green leaves. They span out fairly wide if they are older than 50 years. There are also some Magnolia trees called Saucer Magnolias and those are my favorite. They tend to bloom in the late winter-early spring. Those are pink and look like tea cups on saucers. They're so adorable.. aww heck, here's a picture of both the regular Magnolia Grandiflora (white blooms) and the Magnolia Soulangiana (Pink blossoms)

ewwww pretty.  both of them.  I think that's about the only reason I like Spring, all the trees are flowering, oh and the baby farm animals you see in the barnyards as I drive by them.
