Say
FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersI agree with what she said........there are so many that are great. My favorites on the patio are my ponytail palm and taro and my fave flowers are the desert rose and begonias (right now) although I love New Guinea impatiens and bromeliads for indoors. My fave tree is my 30 foot Canary Island date palm.
Reply:I%26#039;ve just finished up a field botany class in college, and I have to say there are so many amazing flowers and trees to choose from. However, my very favorite tree is the Ginkgo tree. It%26#039;s absolutely beautiful and has SOOOO much history. It%26#039;s over 200 million years old! I fell in love with it so much I even bought a bonsai Ginkgo. They%26#039;re so beautiful!
Reply:Roses are my favorite flower. I like the huge sunflowers, hyacinths, alstramarius, lilies of the valley in long shady runners, irises, gladiolas, tiger lilies, peace lilies, tulips, forsythia bushes, chrysanthemum bushes, any flower which conforms with the environment and brings added pleasure is nice.
Reply:The Passionflower hands Down. If I needed a runner up it would be either bleeding hearts(dicentra spectablis) or Day lilies/Asiatic Lilies %26#039;stargazer%26#039; especially!
Reply:I love morning glories. Once you get a good planting going they reseed freely. Some people consider them invasive; I say they%26#039;re just really friendly!





Here in Central Florida we have some incredible huge, old oak trees. Some are so old that the branches have to be propped up.





I also love Bougainvillea. It comes in so many colors, grows quickly, tolerates drought, heat and direct sun, and makes a great security hedge because of the thorns. I have them under every window of my house, and I%26#039;m training to grow up trellises beside the windows.
Reply:i love the jacaranda tree. awesome when in bloom.
Reply:as far as flowers go, i personally love lilacs and white roses...


I also love Ivy and shamrock (indoor or outdoors its beautiful.. and it comes in different colors)


and I enjoy houseplants like spider plants...wandering jew... crown of thorns... shamrock...and gerbera daisies





I also love sunflowers and lavendar
Reply:My favorite flowering perennial is lavender. The whole plant is fragrant for most of the year (I%26#039;m in New England). I love cutting the stems with unopened buds, drying them and giving them as gifts to neighbors and friends. Plus, I can make lavender tea or sachets for relaxation.
Reply:I love petunias. They%26#039;re so beautiful and easy to care for.
Reply:My favorite flowering plant would have to be the azalea bush. They come in so many different colors and sizes. I was raised in an area of the southeast where azaleas are planted everywhere and I always look forward to spring when all of the bushes start blooming and add an abundance of color to our town.
Reply:I love iris. They are my absolute favorite flower. Their scent is sweeter and more delicate than roses.


And I adore big ancient oak trees. There is an oak in my back yard that is over 100 years old. A hurricane took the top out of it a few years back, but it is still beautiful and powerful and worthy of admiration. It gives me such peace and joy.make up
