    Spring. I need it...I'm ready for some sunshine and warm breezes. March always makes me feel excited about my garden too. So, let's talk flowers...even if you're not a gardener...what are your favorite flowers?

    Mine are tulips, peonies and sunflowers.

    I love them all. I have all kinds of perennials that bloom at different times so there is always color in my garden. I love tulips, love my azalea bushes, love hostas. For annuals I usually get inpatiens because they don't need much nurturing and they fill in so well.

    I love peonies and alstroemeria, but love the smell of honeysuckle and lilacs!

    Love peonies - my grandma had beautiful peony bushes!

    For cut flowers, I'm partial to lilies and gerber daisies

    Tulips and Lily of the Valley. My grandparents always had Lily of the Valley that grew alongside a path that led into their backyard. Every time I smell it I think of them :)

    Let's see... I love my pink peonies best of all I think, but I also love tulips and daffodils because they are a sure sign of spring coming. I also love hanging baskets of the hot pink and white fushcias. I always end up killing them though because they need to be watered twice a day in the hot middle of summer and I rarely remember to water them at all. bad!

    I love, love flowers.

    My very favorite are tulips. For growing around our house, I love hydrangea and peonies. I have several rose bushes also, a few fairy roses that are super cute.

    Ohhhh I love gardening and flowers. :beat

    I am looking forward to living in an area where I can grow pretty things again. My favorites are most anything that bring butterflies to the yard (sun loving pretties like: zinnias, asters, purple coneflower, coreopsis, buddleia). And also hydrangeas, oleanders, gardenia, delphinium. And oodles more.

    I love carnations and orchids :)

    I can't grow carnations to save myself but I have some lovely orchids in the back yard that I threw in there and they have managed to survive even through years of neglect and abandonment :)

    I don't have a green thumb... wish I did. But I'm hoping that with my hubby's help we'll be able to make some sort of flower grow. ;) My favs have always been roses. :)
