Favourite flowers

[noviceveggrower]

I quite like sweet peas especially those with a fragrance. Quite like Snap Dragons as my nan use to grow them when I was little. Oh and poached egg plants their flowers are wonderful. Have only just discovered these thanks to getting some in the seed swap.
Have got Morning Glory growing at the moment but you have to be careful as it can take over quite quickly. Grew some last year and found it wrapped around my cherry tree. Took ages to get it all out.

If anyone wants to start " flowers I hate & why "thread. My contribution would be much bigger

I love flowers. I'm more a flower gardener and only recently started veg. Some of my favourites are: hollyhocks - there just something magical about them for me. Dahlias, particularly shadow play because they look like a shrub in my garden -


Geums because they look like sweets scattered in the air
Scabious because they keep coming and butterflies love them
Carnations because they are easy and smell beautiful
Anemones in spring because they are so impressive and I love blue.
I also tend to like any daisy-like flower too because I love their simplicity.

I could go on.......

You mention it, I probably like it. With the exception of those big ugly sickly pink Hydrangeas in my front garden, and Lupins. Although, I like Lupin leaves, and I don't mind single colour Lupins. One of my customers has a daffodil yellow Lupin, and that's fab.

I adore Hollyhocks, roses, acquilegia, cranesbill geraniums, alchemila, geums, and my current favourite is hibiscus, as they are in flower round here at the moment, and are spectacular.
