My favorite flowers are the bearded iris. So many colors and varieties!
HELLO! MY FAVORITE FLOWERS ARE THE PINK SHOOTING STARS>SO UNIQUE AND SO BEAUTIFUL!
Can’t pick just one. First it’s Lilacs and Lily of the Valley in spring with their heady scents. Then the Peonies. During the heat of the summer it’s the zinnias with all their colours, and come fall it’s Mums and Sunflowers with their deep, rich Fall colours.
Oh, my favorite flower in my garden is the bearded iris…purple with white and smells sooooooo sweet..it was in my garden ( and previous owners) in Manitoba for 45yrs and I had to bring with me to Ontario 4 yrs ago…love her :)
Gerbera daisies. Oh how I love them!
Red roses…so bright and colorful! Thanks for the sweet giveaway :)
Sweet peas are my favorite, their sweet smell is wonderful
The ones growing in my garden right now that I love and are my favorite of the moment are big, bright yellow, day lillies.
Sunflowers are my favourite!
I love seeing the foxgloves come up! They’re just starting to bloom and I can hardly wait to see the hillside covered with them. :)
I love to see my tulips bloom. A sure sign that spring has sprung!
It was so hard to choose! Beautiful Quilts!
my mini irises are ready to bloom … so sweet!
I think forget-me-nots are actually weeds but they are so cheerful and they show up every Spring – I love them
My favourite flower is the tulip.
My favourite flower is the crocus because it comes up right through the snow when I am starved for spring. After that, it would be sunflowers. :)
Lillly of the valley – they are so fragrant. They are such a tiny, delicate flower but they are tough!
I’m another iris fan. I love roses too but am allergic to the scents of flowers. :-(
thanks for the chance to win
Hard to pick a favorite flower but am presently waiting for the Asiatic lilies to bloom. They will be my favorite while they put on a short but beautiful show.
I love the sweet little faces found on pansies!
Lily of the Valley. I love their wonderful fragrance!
My favorite flowers that are blooming right now are the small native irises. Beautiful, but each month has a different favorite.
Since I live in the desert, our flowers are all cactus flowers. My favorite is the floral “hats” the Saguaro’s wear each spring. The Saguaro cactus takes hundreds of years to grow, and the blooms atop the cactus which form what appears to be a pill “hat” become pods that drop off to start new cactus. But most are eaten by animals, and the few that do take off, will take a hundred years just to get a few feet in height. The Saguaro are most prevalent in a “forest” that winds up from Tucson to just north of Phoenix in Arizona. I live at the very northern edge of the forest.
My favorite is my daisy bush with white flowers its always stunning in winter :)
My favourite flowers blooming in my garden are stargazers. Too bad the deer just ate them.
My favorite flowers are Calla Lilies.
My favorite spring flower is the trillium…the woods near here are full of them in May.
I’m a tulips fan.
My favorite right now are my yellow iris. Not much blooming out there yet. :o)
Thanks for the giveaway.
Spring has only just sprung here in Calgary, so, other than dandelions, I have just one kind of flower. That is my crabapple tree, which is in full, glorious bloom. It is always my favourite.
Right now, the only flower blooming in my garden is a daffodil and it is my favorite.
Dianthus! I love their range of color and pinked petal shapes!
One of my favorite flowers is Iris.
In really like the fragrance of the”Lily of the Valley” It smells so fresh and “springy”
I am lovin’ my Impatiens…and Petunia’s right now. Do have Lily of the Valley round side of house….love them too! :)
My all time favorite is snap dragons. As a child we would play with them and make them snap open. What great memories and great colors too.
My favorite has to be my golden dew drops bushes, mostly because their beautiful dangling clusters of purple bring hummingbirds, bumblebees, and all kinds of butterflies, almost all year long!
My other favorite has to be my plumeria – I call it “stick plant” and we’ve raised it up from a little stick in the dirt, about 5 inches high. It’s about 5 years old now and the main trunk is about the size of my forearm, it has 3 branches at the top (which is about 7 feet high!!) and it smells heavenly when it’s in bloom.
That Stash Pack from Vicki is simply gorgeous & I’d love to add it to my fabric collection, to be used in a very special project!!
My favorite have got to be my bearded iris, and my roses.
The snow drops are the first flowers to bloom in my garden. These were FREE bulbs I received years ago when I ordered an iris collection.
I love my peonies!
My favorite flower would be my knock out roses but the deer keep eating them so I have no blooms.
Iris are my favorite flower ,and they grow wild in my Garden ..My husband has transplanted some into a Tire hopefully they will bloom there.
The only “flower” growing in my garden is a yellow pinwheel! I do love daisies and roses though.
I love lilacs and hydrangeas. My lilacs have all bloomed already and the hydrangeas aren’t yet blooming, so I have something to look forward to!
Some lovely Lily of the Valley flowers, though the roses are also beautiful/
We have a cactus garden in our new house. I don’t know the names of the flowers but they are great for the very short amount of time that they appear. Otherwise I’d have to say our mini orchid plants are my current favorite.
My favourite flower in my garden are stargazer lilies.
My husband bought me a gorgeous blue delphinium for my birthday. It was the only blue flower he could find. My 3 yo dd insisted I get a blue flower! It is a bluish purple and its sooo pretty!
My favorite flower in my garden would have to be my Blue Boy Roses. Such a beautiful lilac color.
