Orchids and African violets were my mother's favorites.

I enjoy the aroma of paperwhites in the house. For a while. They become a bit overpowering eventually. -.---.----.. -.---.----.. -.---.----.. It seems to me that any law that is not enforced and can't be enforced weakens all other laws. | |||

I like so many but my favorite is the Triple Hibiscus. The complexity of the flower reminds me how incredible Nature is. "In the age of madness, to expect to be untouched by madness is a form of madness." - Saul Bellow | |||

Crocosmia Lucifer is probably my favorite, but I like pretty much all flowers, particularly the ones that smell nice. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Tree: Apple blossoms Shrub: Purple lilacs Bulb: Wild type iris. These are my favorite overall, like an orchid for up north. Such a complex shape as well for such simple leaves. | |||

| Oh stewardess, I speak jive.  |
Lillies, Tulips, Irises, and a few Orchids. And Cherry Blossom trees. | |||

Honeysuckle and dogwood. Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||

Gladiolias, Irises, Tulips, and most any bulb flower and of course the exquisite Orchid. As far as smell it would have to be Roses, of course I have to avoid them now days due to allergies devellped in late life. Old age is a bummer!! LOL !

Gardenias they smell wonderful and they are pretty hearty since they continue to live at my house! Others would be Hibiscus (had a beautiful orange version till we got a hard freeze) and also Gladiolas, wish they bloomed longer. HK Ag | |||

Aloha, I like the sweet scent of Night Blooming Jasmine and/or Lady of the Night. Booth bloom profusely at night and give off heavy sweet scents all night. The flowers die during the day. New ones reappear at night. Night Blooming Jasmine needs to be watered almost daily. Lady of the Night is more hardy and can go several days with out watering. | |||

I like purple/lavender roses. I also like orchids. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Citrus trees in blossom are wonderful. My favorite would have to be alpine wildflowers in the Uinta and Rocky Mountains, especially if it's just me, the flowers, and the mountains; maybe next to a small stream, watching a big eagle flying around. (It's been a while, maybe next summer). "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

Every year my backyard busts out in wildflowers. Most look like small daisies. I love them and know the long Yoop winter is truly over when they bloom. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||
