Wup, Wup....what you say?

Fragarnt flowers are my favorite, alot of the prettier ones have no or little fragrance. The stronger the perfume, the headier. Wisteria, Hyacynth bean, jasmine(s), peonies, etc. Nver much to look at but so nice to walk past.
Also wildflowers is up there, in a field or popping up in the strangest places (cracks or alonside a highway), kinda makes one feel thats what life is.

Planted a yard with perrenials that different ones would be blooming from early spring to late fall; alot of them started from seed. in a sm. green house we had built. (Yes, had ALOT of time on my hands then )

I love roses

I grow a beautiful fragrant blue one on my porch!!

What I like best about flowers is the variety so I don't really have a favorite.

My ma used to grow those in our yard when I was small. They remind me of her and then. So beautiful, almost as big as my hand (then). Hardly see them here but Roses do really well here in the desert, which is a surprise to me. They are elusive to me to grow, always seem to kill them off or they don't produce flowers...the only one I have was here when I bought the place and it has produced one flower a year... (in shade). Any tips?

Two of my favorites are Lantana and Green feathery senna.

Not sure if they have flowers but the Aloe vera plant will keep evil spirits away. I love them have some in my yard.

some close runners up for my favorites are,

Betty Boop floribunda

Carnations are my favorite

sunflowers have always been my favorite, but I am partial to tulips, as well.

I love soooo many flowers that I just couldn't choose only one. So my answer would be: perennials. You put them in the ground and if they like the spot they will reward you by returning year after year. There are no bad flowers...only invasive ones, and even the invasive ones can have their place if you have enough room.

Impatients, shade loving and no dead heading. Miniature clematis! Blooms late when pretty much sick of gardening, this plant goes crazy with tiny, very fragrant blooms. I think this might be my all time fav! Wonder if I have enough growing season here for it??? OK research to do....

my grandma had the biggest, purple 4 o'clock plants...I can remember walking past them as a kid and smelling them.

The Peace rose, does it have a latin name? Many gardening places here have varieties that say they are what you are looking for, but not, only similar. Thats the one I was talking about earlier btw.

wiki say


The Peace rose is the most famous and successful garden rose of all time. Over one hundred million plants had been sold, as of 1992. It is a Hybrid Tea rose with large flowers and a light yellow to cream color. It is hardy and resistant to disease making it popular in gardens as well as in the floral trade (Beales).

It was developed by French horticulturist Francis Meilland in the years 1935 to 1939. When Meilland foresaw the German invasion of France he sent cuttings to friends in Italy, Turkey, Germany, and the United States to protect the new rose. The rose became known as 'Peace' in the following way. Early 1945 Meilland wrote to Field Marshal Alan Brooke (later Viscount Alanbrooke), the principal author of the master strategy that won Second World War, to thank him for his key part in the liberation of France and to ask if Brooke would give his name to the rose. Brooke declined saying that, though he was honored to be asked, his name would soon be forgotten and a much better and more enduring name would be "Peace".

The name "Peace" is a trade name; its formal cultivar name is Rosa 'Madame A. Meilland'. The adoption of the trade name "Peace" was publicly announced in the United States on 29 April 1945 by the introducers, Messrs Conard Pyle Co.. This was the very day that Berlin fell, officially considered the end of the Second World War in Europe. Later that year Peace roses were given to each of the delegations at the inaugural meeting of the United Nations in San Francisco, each with a note which read:

"We hope the 'Peace' rose will influence men’s thoughts for everlasting world peace".

Peter Beales, English rose grower and expert, said in his book Roses:

"'Peace', without doubt, is the finest Hybrid Tea ever raised and it will remain a standard variety forever".

Lily of the valley, they only bloom for about a week, but they smell so good.

and no Texan can speak of flowers without bringing up bluebonnets.
