Re: My favourite plant. What's yours?

Super plants folks!!
I love the smell of pinks Mups! That's the only thing wrong with my little rose, no scent. That big bunch on the first photos is on one stem, so I'll forgive its lack of perfume

Re: My favourite plant. What's yours?

My favourite flower is whatever is flowering at the time. The Salvia is good but equally favourite at the moment is this evergreen jasmine. It's taken about 18 years to grow this big..

Re: My favourite plant. What's yours?

Some very interesting plants on the list so far.
Mine is plumeria alba (westindian Frangipani)

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ba_flowers.jpg

Its fragrance mesmerized me twenty years ago. I started growing them and for the third time in all that time they are blooming in my garden in Germany.

Have a nice weekend everybody

Pretty little flower Frank, (I aint writing all those numbers ), but be careful when cutting it as I have read the sap is poisonous and a skin irritant.
Might be safer to wear gloves.

I think mine is the snowdrop, its the signal the long dreary nights will soon be a thing of the past, for awhile at least.

Yes that's true Caricature. Those little flowers are always a very welcome sight aren't they.

It does and there is room to let that one grow and grow where it is.

There is another non-evergreen Jasmine that grows along the fence at the side of the house. It looks and smells good but the passageway is quite narrow. I try to leave it as long as possible before cutting it back but it has to be done in the end.

Re: My favourite plant. What's yours?

So many favourites that it's impossible to pick one. Yes, I like snowdrops but also sweet peas, wisteria, old fashioned roses and clematis. How do I choose?

I like roses, monkey puzzle and eucalyptus trees.
