Ok, so what is your favourite flower, and why?

My favourite flower is a a beautiful sky blue cornflower which appears
annually quite of its own accord in one of our wildflower areas. It
never asks for anything nor threatens anything. Its serene grace,
independence and reliability strengthen our gardening resolve.

What a difficult question to answer, as the seasons roll by I keep
changing to whatever is coming into bloom at the time, if push came to
shove I would have to say anything daisyish.

I'm with you on that, depends what's in flower. I have a love of Regal
Pelagoniums but then I think the flowers on the tiny orchid Physosyphon
tubatus are wonderful 'cause they smell of fried bacon, then there is the
tropical Lotus........... Oh I can't decide!

Oh, I can. It has to be the snowdrop for me. So many stirrings of very
distant memories.

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.

Snowdrop, single not double, because they are the prettiest, and when
they come through I get that feeling of "Yes! We've made it again!"
Primroses reinforce the feeling.

For the garden probably day lillies, but also pansies and violas, but then
again there are the narcissii........
It's so difficult to answer as mine also change with the seasons.

Hmm.
Probably nasturtium. Comes in a variety of shades , bright and colourful
thus cheering me up, good ground cover or climber, edible, attractive leaves
reminiscent of water lilys.
I love to see a deep bank of nasturtiums. Sure the catterpillars get 'em
eventually but after they have been eaten and the caterpillars pupate,
another crop comes up. Once you plant them you will always have them so they
are cost effective too.
Yup nasturtium is my favourite garden flower.
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.

The very long-flowering Penstemon is probably my favourite, particularly
Firebird. They grow so easily from tip cuttings, need little care and
keep going for many years.

Next has to be Cosmos Sonata Mixed, because of its very pleasing pastel
colours, ease of cultivation and long season of flowering.

Emrys Davies.

Daffodil. Not the big bright yellow ones, but our native daffodil, and
other small pale yellow species and hybrids. Instant sunshine.

I can never have any lupins. Snails like them too much.

"Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river"

Today, mine is a very dark almost black viola. From a packet of seeds earlier this year, only one germinated. From that one plant I now have offspring popping up all over the garden, even into flower pots. I would say, as flowers, they are quite shy, but proud, with their heads held high, and they spread happiness - I would like to think, a little like me!
