Roses - classic red, partially open with a touch of morning dew annointing them. Sensual in shape and inference.
Orchids - elaborate but actually amazingly simple in form. Extravagant yet elegant.....
Do they count ?

For perfume - Friesias!!
I love most flowers but Friesias are my favourites!

Bluebells and daisys remind me of yonder childhood times, crysanthimums of past relatives garden, roses of past loves and chamomile because it is beautiful, you can drink it as a tea, and lavendar because it smells good even after death....
Love watching the Passion Flower open they're beautiful. They look so plain as a green bud, but boy when they're opening they're spectacular.
The look of a Lily is stunning, the smell of it can be wonderful, although a bit overpowering if in a small room!
Agree with EmmaPeel, Friesias smell wonderful, they always remind me of my Gran, they were her fave.
Ahhhh and of course the Rose, just splendid.
I`ll pick a Rose for my Rose .It must be red but a thing of great beauty as well as passion.
Its one of the things that stirs passion from within the body,another is Jerusalem by William Blake and Pomp and Circumstance by you feel great to be English.
Have to agree that Penstamons are an excellent plant that self seeds freely given the right conditions. Also a big fan of the snowdrop that doesnt look so great in a garden setting but is a wonder in a woodland if you can find one these days.
Hosta's are another favourite of ours although their flowering value is zilch but for leaf and form cant be beaten, just watch out for the slugs and snails on those, you can always collect them and chuck em in Arti's garden.
We have some fine Montana's which are very easy and flower profusely. A feed of tomato plant food and they romp away.
For inside the house mrs davej always has some lillies in a vase, very striking although the perfume isnt to everyone's taste and if they drop then watch for staining on your furniture.
have to go with misscheif its lillys, i love the size and smell.
The poppy. Apart from the fact that it means a great deal in my family for very personal reasons, it is such an evocative flower. Sensual yet so simple, timeless but so fleeting. Delighted in by the Symbolists for its decadence in the C19 and becoming the symbol of regeneration in the C20, the poppy is the emblem both of sleep and rebirth, and it remains a very beautiful flower.

I like the humble poppy too, and have seen some marvelous ones north of the border...truely exquisite....
I have many here and collect seeds to scatter about the garden...
Yes. Cornflowers and delphiniums such irridescent colour and it evokes an English country garden. And I say that as a Welshman!
Mrs Peel - nice to see you back - couldn't resist it?

Just come back from Cornwall and I went to the Eden project. They sell a super collection of flowers and there were all sorts of flowers on the hills in bloom. I love spring and the first buds coming through. Just wish my new lawn mower would arrive as old one broke down week last Friday just as I was motivated to get grass cut lol.
Our native spring flowers take some beating, the Primrose, the Bluebell, the enchanting Violet and Spring Gentian and if you can spot them the Perslane and Periwinkle.
The Poppy eh? Such a versatile flower.
). so, do you love flowers?
:lol: :lol:
