What are your favorite cut flowers and why?
My favorites are oriental lilies like Stargazer, Enchantment or Casa Blanca., because they smell fantastic (they can perfume a whole room) and they last a long time.
But for Valentine’s Day I got a bouquet of various pastel roses: yellow, peach, orange that I really liked.
What’s your favorite and why?

I love Gerbera Daisies. My grandma said they are a peasant flower, she seemed less than impressed I used them for my wedding. I love all the colors they come in and there is something sweet about them, unpretentious.
Roses are my least favorite to receive, they tend to die quickly.
I like a tropical bouquet also for the odd shapes and colors.
The fragrance of a flower has little to do with whether I like them or not.
I should mention I am not overly wowed by flowers in the first place. I don’t keeo fresh flowers in my home, I prefer you don’t arrive at my house with a bunch in your hand, and I much prefer my husband spend money on something else. But, I appreciate the thought if you do give me flowers.
Mine are Gerber Daisies and Sunflowers. They make me smile.
I love, love, love flowers of all shapes and sizes. Some of my favorites are gladiiolus. My aunt grew them when I was a young child and I loved her like she was my own mother. She was unique and strong and died too young of cancer.
I also love peonies. They may be my favorite. I love the ants that are needed for them them to grow. I love the smell, the look, the way they feel.
I love wisteria and the way it crawls across everything in its path and covers it with its unbelievable beauty.
@chyna, I just planted sunflower seeds (and zinnias) with my granddaughter. They are growing like weeds. I just had to transplant them into a bigger container today.
Tulips because they make me happy, orchids because they are elegant and gorgeous.
< This photo was taken Friday, I’ll keep you posted. The seeds were planted Wednesday. Unbelievable and extremely fun with a 3-year old helping me.
@bkcunningham Love peonies and wisteria
@wildpotato Tulips always make me smile
@marinelife Stargazer lilies are impressive

Recently been looking at getting some ginger for my house. And Coleus’s{B6D21294–82E9–4B7F-80B7–0D1829E0CA6A}&v=10.2.0.3&ds=AVG&d=3%2f12%2f2012+3%3a25%3a31+PM&pr=pr&snd=hdr don’t even need to bloom to be outstanding.
I love Gerbera Daisies, and I love forcing hyacinths. (sp). Coming home on a cold nasty day and smelling that fragrance when you open the door is amazing.
Gladiolus all colors, all styles.
@bkcunningham your potted seedlings look like they might enjoy some more light, they look somewhat leggy : ^)
I love them all!
Roses,tulips and lilies are standouts.
