Default RQOTD:What is your favorite...

flower? For me it is a Gerbera Daisy.



Followed closely by a Double Delight rose:



Its a combination of pink/yellow in one rose and so so pretty.

After that it is jasmine and gardenias simply because they smell sooooo goood!!

I have roses growing Paula. None of the Double delights though. Id love a rose Garden like they have at our local botanical garden. It is sooo pretty!



it is not the best picture and does not show even half of the roses. It is just amazing there. I love going there!

Oh and that in the middle is a small fountain. Again sooo so pretty!!

There is an orchid here somewhere in Florida I read about which is protected and there is only one I think of its kind. You are not allowed to go near it but I cant remember the name of it.

ETA: It might be the ghost orchid that I read about. I am not sure. I just remember reading it was only viewable from a tower and it only bloomed for a short period of time and was really really rare. Would be a cool thing to see though

Stargaze lilies for sure! But I also love the gardenias and how they smell. I tried to keep a gardenia indoors last year but it died after a month or so, I forgot to water it frequently so it dried out

I had to google these to see what they looked like. I like the hycainth as well but in the more colorful varieties I think. The snow waltz rose is really pretty if the googled image was right

This is the Snow Waltz...The inside is actually a very pale pink.


For some reason I'm just really drawn to white flowers. But I love the smell the hyacinths give. I always have some inside during the spring and summer and when they bloom the whole house smells of hyacinth.

Ditto here. :-) And I also love poppies.

From the "fancy kind" of flowers I love orchids.

I love tulips and I also have a thing for gladiolas - I have grown them every summer since I was a kid. I also love forget-me-nots - they remind me of my grandmother every time I see them.

I go through spurts, but I usually love the really huge flowers like hydrangeas and peonies. I've also always really loved poppies.

white roses are my go-to... but really it comes down to the flowers my hubby gets me for "just because I love you!" They could be dead and I would think they are awesome. LOL!

Of course being a mama... dandelions hand picked by kiddo are a fav, too.

I don't think I could pick a single flower as a favorite, lol.
I love lilies, and roses. I love hydrangeas and peonies and ranunculus. I love gerbera daisies.

Bluebonnets are my absolute favorite




I also am partial to sunflowers, tulips, and gerbera daisies. And of course I won't say no to roses either LOL...the yellow ones are my favorites.

There are many flowers which I like. Pansy and sun flower are definitely one of my favorites, but I also like roses! Especially rose bouquets are really pretty! Sometimes I deliver flowers to friends and in this case I always choose roses... because depending on the color it's always a different meaning! A nice flower decoration is also a nice touch for your home

I'm a little weird. I like Peonies


and Hydrangeas cause they remind me of my daddy I try and try to grow them and I have NO luck at all. Daddy used to have bushes that grew 6-8 feet tall and were so HUGE and heavy with all these big blooms. A little tidbit about them ... they change color according to the acid level of the soil they are planted in.
