16. Some roses - I guess the tea kind rather bore me BUT seen many beautiful ones at the Botanical Gardens. ..

In one of my nabes we a had a climber around the other side of the block. 🩷

I loved them on the arched trelises at the BGs.

[debm55]

40. Thank you very much for sharing with us, electric_blue68. roses would be my second choice.❤️

3. April Showers bring grass, and lots of it in Maine.

Freaking grass goes nutz up here all of May. My lawns really want to be fields. Should have mowed a week ago. Will be mowing early next week....again.

[debm55]

6. Thank you OAITW r.2.0. Here in Pittsburgh we have been mowing every week. I was out taking the dog out and it is high

and a mess. However, It is supposed to rain the next three days.

[OAITW r.2.0]

7. Disabled my riding lawnmwer today....so push mowing my 3 acres of lawn by hand now. Freakin' great.

[debm55]

12. Oh no, I'm so sorry that happened to you

[OAITW r.2.0]

13. That's life debm55.

Hey. I have a sister born in 1955. She was teacher of the year in Maine sometime ago. Life goes on - Obladi Obladah.

[Grim Chieftain]

8. I love lilies of the valley and lilacs

They are so gentle and so fragrant.

[debm55]

24. Those would by next two favorites. Thank you Grim Chieftain.🌼

[Frasier Balzov]

9. Peonies bloom here on June 7.

And all the petals have fallen off by one week later.

[debm55]

23. 🪷Lovely flowers. Thank you for sharing with us, Frasier Balzov.

[yellowdogintexas]

31. I don't know where you are, but peonies do not grow well here in Ft Worth

Our house in Evansville came with 3 lovely peony plants. I miss seeing them.

[debm55]

42. Thank you very much, yellowdogintexas. I live outside of Pittsburgh.🌸

[3catwoman3]

10. Can't pick just one - I love daffodils, pansies...

...Gerbera daisies, lilies of the valley, bleeding hearts, geraniums, violets, hyacinths, lilacs, moss roses, begonias, and, although not a flower, coleus plants.

[debm55]

22. Wow what a selection, 3catwoman3.🪷

[Bayard]

11. Purple Cone Flowers

They're just starting to bud here now. I have them in a wildflower bed in my garden, along with blue Bachelor Buttons, Blackeyed Susans, and not-so-wild, Hollyhocks.

[debm55]

21. That sounds beautiful. Thank you, Bayard.💐

[LoisB]

14. Carnations.

[debm55]

20. Thank you very much, LoisB.🪷

[electric_blue68]

15. Peonies! Later...at the Botanical Gardens (has to warm up more) - Lotuses!

I really love plenty of flowers, but these are my most favorites. 🤔 Hydrangeas probably are my 3rd favorite .or maybe hibicus are and hydrangeas 4th.

[debm55]

19. Thank you very much for sharing with us, electric_blue68.💐

[u4ic]

17. So many

But top tier are gladiolus, lilacs, sunflowers, roses, lilies and lily of the valley.

[debm55]

18. Thank you very much , u4ic for sharing your favorites.🌹

[applegrove]

25. Tulips.

[debm55]

43. Thank you very much, applegrove.🌹

[cloudbase]

26. Bluebonnets.

[debm55]

44. Thank you very much, cloudbase.🌼

[Bristlecone]

27. Probably Lilacs for the smell, Columbine and Indian Paint for the color and their wild nature.

[debm55]

46. Beautiful, Thank you Bristlecone.🌼🌸🪷

[CanonRay]

28. Rhododendrons

We have lots of them here.

[MIButterfly]

29. I love the smell of lilacs and hyacinths

I also like hydrangeas.

But my absolute favorite flowers to have in pots are begonias and New Guinea impatiens because they are so pretty and low-maintenance.

[Aristus]

30. The Sterling Silver variety of rose.

It isn't really silver. It's a very pale lavender. But it's beautiful. You don't see it around much, because it's very difficult to cultivate. That gives it rarity value, as well.

[yellowdogintexas]

32. Iris are my favorites, even though they only bloom for a short period in the spring

I would love a variety which would bloom all summer. There are reblooming iris but they do not do well here because our summers are too hot and too long.

I wish daffodils would last longer too.

[Wicked Blue]

33. Irises, roses and peonies

I'm unable to choose just one of them

[Figarosmom]

34. I like all flowers, but for different reasons.

But the only flower I insist on for formal occasions is the Lily of the Valley. Had them all over the church and in my bouquet for my wedding ( got married in May just because that is the time of year for them).

I also like Roses and Dalhias.

[debm55]

39. Thank you very much, Figarosmom. I really like Lilies of the Valley. But I do not have too much luck growing them around

here.

35. Then You Would Have Loved Eastern Hungary

And hour & a half to 2 hours southeast of Budapest, I visited an edible oil processing plant that was almost exclusively sunflower oil.
The squeezed the seeds for oil, the ground the rest for livestock feed.
For the last 25 miles or so, the fields were sunflowers for as far as the eye could see in every direction.
All we could see was yellow!
As to your question, I think roses, but I have liked snapdragons since I was a little kid.

[debm55]

38. That sounds beautiful , ProfessorGAC. Thank you for sharing.

[retread]

36. April showers bring May flowers. Mayflowers bring pilgrims.

[debm55]

37. Hahahahahah. You just did the Joke of the Day.

[some_of_us_are_sane]

41. Tulips and Daffodils

Both shout, "SPRING!". I love hyacinths for the fragrance.

[Emile]

45. Dinner Plate Dahlia

[debm55]

47. Oh Thank you, Emile, that is stunning.
