Time for a nice pleasant post I think.
My favorite flower is the 'white rose'. It reminds me of home, the wide open space and great men exploring the world. Swimming in a small bay with dolphins and turtle. A hot day. A pick-nick my the monument and that brings me back to Yorkshire.
What is yours.
Mine is this and it has nothing to do with Texas >>>>>>

The Rose of friendship.

....ive always had a thing for white lilies ...years ago, in some slightly stoned haze, someone gently put one in front of my nose to smell, then told me to look at the stamnen in the centre, it was oozing with some sticky wet stuff (im genuinely not trying to make this sound filthy), they then said to let it gently touch the end of my nose, at which point my nose felt amazing.. i'll never forget it.
obviously the stoned stupor had its affect... but I still love doing it today, not stoned these days mind.
I'm tempted to say Oil Seed - but I won't - I'm joking honest!! wink
You've got to go a long way to beat a fragrant red rose but for reasons in my young I go for the vibrant blue of the cornflower.

flippin eck..... again I have to agree with Kiss_me.... :inlove:
had a brush with death a few years ago.. .and I included in my funeral costs the likelihood of shipping these beauties in for a lovely bunch to go on my coffin in case I was inconsiderate and died out of sunflower season.
I love them...I attempt to grow them every year(the slugs and I are not friends)
. they are happy and smiley flowers and so simple in their beauty
:rose: :rose:
I am a very keen gardener (which feels like a kinky confession!) and adore lots of flowers but I'll keep the list short....
'Chocolate Cosmos' which has dark velvety flowers on tall slim stalks that smell divinely of chocolate!
Heliotrope, deep purple and smells of vanilla.
The flowers I love receiving most are a big fat bouquet of yellow roses :love:

Going to give those a try next year - recently moved into my house and have been busy clearing the garden of the crappy shrubs the previous owners had planted and improving the soil ... To deal with the slugs, you could try using Nematodes ...

Not sure I have a favourite yet but I'm really liking the Calla lily I'm growing in a pot in the garden ...
Sunflower or poppies for me biggrin
I love most flowers especially when someone else buys them for me ( like that happens often rolleyes ) but my faves would have to be roses and freesias. Lilies are a no no for me. I hate the smell confused they make me sneeze and the pollen won't come out of your clothes if you get it on them. I end up cutting the pollen stalks off if we have them on the wards.
The humble daisy confused why? it was the first flower ever picked for me by my wonderfull daughter as a toddler biggrin and I still have it pressed knocking around here some place :D :D

Oooo Fresias are a very close second because I LOVE the smell of them. I love the smell of tea-leaves and I think Fresias smell like tea - uhuh they do they do!!
:rose:
..... Sassy if we ever do meet I will be sure to bring you a big bunch of flowers!....
I love flowers, couldnt pick a favorite, well yeah I could actually, orchids. :shock: although I love Calla lillies & white roses too. :shock:
My hobby, believe it or not (and most of you wont lol ) is flower arranging and I do wedding flowers/ funeral arrangements for friends redface surprisedops:
the one's i like in the house best are sweet peas, but prefer to see flowers generally stil growing in the garden.

Well I know who to call on if I ever get married.......... or leave a not for somebody else to call you if I die! :shock:
.... ok so that was sick... I'm sorry!....
can`t pick a favourite flower...........totally indiscriminate gardener........got bits from everyones gardens..........walk down roads and take cuttings...........been known to yell stop while i jump out of the car and nick a bit.......like to see em growing rather than with their heads chopped off in a vase.......got pretty much everything anyones mentioned ,red, yellow, white, pink, peach roses........red yellow pink mauve poppies......pots of freesias.....lavender ,stocks etc etc etc.......and not a bare inch of flower bed for a weed to grow.................
This is another favourit flower of mine :- >>>>

Unusual but I do like it.
Remember a Dandilion weed is an uncultured flower and has its own beauty.
Phredd kiss
I like lillies. I have a great photo of some from my back garden last year, but it's not on pc at the mo. If i find it i will post it.
i love dahlias there are sooo many variations they just fill a garden up & bring fantastic splashes of colour & form biggrin & if grown from seed you never know what you are going to get as they are natural hybreds :D
also love the hunble daffodil the first sure sign that spring is on its way :D :D
Just can't chooes sorry.
My garden is completely overgrown and wild, a weed is just a flower in the wrong place - my garden is full of the most wonderful flowers! From the thistles (which the goldfinches love) to the dog rose and the rushes and the creeping buttercup. A multitude of differnt grasses, which, when wet, look spectacular in the morning sun, the hunisuckle which smells delectable in the evening.
Who needs F1 hibreds?
H.x
Tea roses or cala lilles for cut flowers, in terms of garden flowers it would have to be aquilegia or sweet peas.
(and if anyone wants to send me any at all (even a daisy chain), just pm and my address will be provided asap wink )

Funeral arrangements for friends? Gulp - so does that mean it's dangerous to hang out with you then?
:lol:
lol :lol: I thought everybody knew that already :lol: :lol:
I meant - I'll do them if asked by friends rather than going to a shop where its all impersonal & overcharged wink Florists charge sooo much money for the obligatory things like coffin sprays when usually folk have got enough on trying to sort out the funeral costs etc, so, its my way of doing my bit to help a mate when they need it, as daft as its sounds :wink:, and if its a friend or someone close to me who has died,( and there's been a fair few) doing the arrangements is my way of channelling grief dunno
but anyway - back to favorite flowers :wink:
