My favorite flowers in my garden that are starting to bloom right now are my roses.
I love all flowers but when my Sunflowers bloom they are the best! Right now the Fuschsia’s are just too pretty for words.
I live the yucca that surround my house–cultivated red ones in the garden and wild ones in the open ares in back.
I love my bridal wreath that is blooming now.
My favorite is the peony bushes–but it looks like they will be sparse this yea–a caught a yearling moose eating the shoots!! Aaack!

I love to see all the bulbs poking through to brighten up our coming winter in Australia.

My favorite flowers are the hydrangeas. I have pink and blues growing in the same spot. Thanks for the chance
Clematis. Love them. Thanks!
I like every flower that is colored. My favorite color is pink.
Greetings from Germany!
Me encantan las margaritas,en todos los colores.Gracias!
Lovely work! These are really beautiful quilts here!
Thanks for sharing.
La flor que més m’agrada és la rosa. Greetings from Catalonia.
Pansies, they always look happy.
I have lots of hostas growing in my shady garden, many varities, lots of shapes, colours and sizes. I love the texture of the hostas.
Not long after we moved into this house I planted a couple Texas tulips. The bright red blooms come back every year and I love them.
Thanks!
I havew so many flowers right now, but I always stand by my marigolds. They don’t smell the best, but they are so hardy in our crazy Kansas weather. All the different colors of yellows and golds just light up my garden (and keep the bugs away) and around our house. Love them!
I absolutely love iris. I have 60 feet of them growing in front of my barn. What makes them even more special is that my granddaughter (11 at the time) planted each bulb for me.
There were so many great quilts. It was so hard to choose. My favorite flower in my garden is the Poppy.
The favorite flower I have blooming now is a dark red rose.
No contest it’s day lilies! We have them from palest yellow to darkest purple. They bloom all summer and require only minimum care. I would much rather put my time into quilting than into gardening!
My favorite flower in my garden is my Hydrangias, especially the one my dear friend gave me when she was dying of cancer. I looked after her and another mutual friend gave her this Hydgranger for Easter. She enjoyed it for about 6 weeks and then asked me to plant in my garden. It flourishes every year since I planted it. She passed away holding my hand June 4,2010. I miss her so. But my Hydrangia brings a smile to my face as the beautiful blooms emerge.

My favorite flower is the pink anemone. It is a wildflower here in southern Virginia/North Carolina. My yard is a sea of pink in early summer.
I am a big fan of quilt blocks set on point with sashing and corner blocks. I love the diagonal lines. Have a great day today!
My favourite flower is the trillium that came from my grandparent’s cottage and has lived in 2 of my home’s gardens!
They just finished blooming – but I love love love my grape hyacinths. They always remind me of my Mom.
Lily of the Valley are my favorite
I love the snowdrops. They are the first sign that spring is making a comeback!
I don’t have a garden but I have Gerber Daisies growing in a pot on my porch. They are one of my very favorite flowers.

I love peonies – my birthday and their blooming coincide! What a wonderful birthday gift.
I no longer have a garden but thinking back to when I did I always loved to see the spring daffodils.

My favourite is a wild flower , in the UK, as well as a garden flower. It is the cornflower! The intense blue just says summer to me!
Hopefully there will be many more cornflowers this year as they are being sold and planted to aid the Parkinson’s Disease charity.
I love gardenias. I have two big bushes growing in my front flower garden. Their scent is heavenly. Wish they bloomed longer.
My lilacs are definitely my favorite, and it saddens me that they last such a short time! Thank goodness for my daylilies that provide near constant blooms to cheer me. Speaking of cheering, I received some irises from a friend, and thought for sure they wouldn’t bloom this year since I just planted them, but this morning I saw nearly half a dozen buds! Yay!
Today my columbines are my favorite. Lovely combinations of colors to lift my spirits.
My favorite flower in my garden is the Hollyhock. It fills my heart with song!
