2nd favourite is lupin. I like to see dozens of lupins growing in a bed,
all
different colours. I can never have too many lupins or nasturtiums.

I can never have any lupins. Snails like them too much.
My ducks like snails too much :0)

Mine has to be a Peony, the yellow flowered P. ludlowii takes some beating.
Once established it is a fine plant with, for peonies, long lasting flowers.
P. ludlowii is not doing at all well in China, where it grows wild, due to
over zealous scrub clearance.

Mine is probably my Tropeolum Speciosum. It appeared of its own
accord and
grows where it wants to, but never in quite the same place each
year. It
has lovely shaped leaves,beautiful bright red foliage and deep blue
berries.

What a wonderful plant! You are right. It never grows where one
intends it to grow, but it does not matter. When it pops up here and
there, is it due to root growth, or are they seedlings?

I bought one about fifteen years ago and have since supplied a fair
fraction of the village with specimens. It has now reached the stage
where I actually have to thin out the plantlets in spring.

Depends on when you ask the question. Today it's a white 'Laser' F1
Cyclamen - one plant is filling our large greenhouse with its delicate
perfume. In February it will be Cyclamen coum flowers poking bravely
through any snow or frost we may have. In May it will be one of the
big blue Meconopsis.

Ok Jenny

Well one of my favourite flowers is the Forget-me-not

MYOSOTIS (Myoso'tis) because it is an unassuming, but

photogenic flower, and it always pleases me to find this in any garden.

For me it will always be the Buddleia - reminds me of long summers
spent playing with childhood friends in the park at the end of our
street.
The park had a stand of about half a dozen Buds of varying shades, and
when all the running and shouting was done with you could sit and
watch the butterflies and bees congregating on the blooms - making it
plant that constantly changed in colour and sound, underpinned by the
scent of summer.

Regards,
