Favorite Flowers

I love flowers. My favorite are purple roses.

i have over a hundred bearded irises in my front yard...i ordered them from Breck's. Hunny if i can't kill them neither can you-all ya gotta do is dig a hole where is sunny and leave them alone. i don't even water or fertilize mine sand some of them are over 3 feet tall-plus they rebloom in spring and fall...i planted my hubby some black ones-they look like velvet!!!

I had never seen one til I searched it on the internet - they are beautiful!! I found this picture (if it uploads) - there are more out there in lighter and darker shades. I may have finally found a favorite flower, even though purple is usually not a color I like.

Thanks for posting a pic Suzi That's really a beautiful flower, i like the color, it's not something we get to see very often

hyacinth smell absolutly wonderful!! My mother also stuck fake flowers in her yard. She said "At least I don't have to water them."

My favorites are roses and tiger lilies. My father was very into plants, mostly vegetable (3 acre garden), and I raised the flowers and strawberries at home. I cross pollinated petunias to create different variations. It was an interesting way to grow up. He ordered me a purple rose bush, Monet, and we planted it in the front yard with the other roses. It produced beautiful purple flowers, but was not as hardy as other varieties. It died long ago. I don't have time now to grow a lot of flowers, now. My front yard looks nice, and most all of the plants produce some type of flower. My back yard is bare. Maybe someday....

I love all the spring bulb type flowers. Actually all flowers are my favorite!! I havent seen one yet on this earth that I didn't care for. Even a simple weed flower can be the most beautiful and delicate thing I've ever laid eyes upon.

But in the spring, when those flower stalks push up through the frozen snow and then bloom, it's magnificant!! The vivid colors and aroma's always make me stop and ponder over them.
