Re: Your favourite flowers..

The florists don't have them because they don't last five minutes Robert.

I like to pick a bunch for the kitchen, with asparagus fern - looks very pretty

Re: Your favourite flowers..

Too many to mention but a few
..Daffodils and Snowdrops a joy to see after the winter,
..Violets so pretty and scented too..
..Lily of the Valley because my Dad loved them, I have lots in my garden ...
..Bluebells, they mean spring has really arrived and they are unrivalled with their carpet of scented blue..

Re: Your favourite flowers..

What are those little purple flowers that come up after the winter that look like wee, tiny hyacinths? Two sprang up from nowhere on the front lawn.
They're only about 4" tall, purple & they don't have petals, more like little clusters.

Re: Your favourite flowers..

I love all flowers even weeds, my all time favourites are aquilegia, because they cross pollinate and produce so many different flowers, wild geranium, and pansies because they always look like happy kittens.

I agree too Twiz because where we are, so many plants, flowers come up that people in the city call weeds then they go to the garden centres & pay top dollar for "wildflowers" & love them, go figure.
