What's your favorite in flowers? I love white lilies, they smell like rain. A close second are snapdragons. About 6 years ago, we planted a few of them in a flower bed in front of the house. Now, even the neighbors have them. I am not ashamed to admit that I really enjoy shopping for flowers for my wife. Palmers Flowers here in Fort Collins is amazing with big glassed walk in refrigerators. I love going in those. ____________________________________________________ New and improved super concentrated me: Proud rebel, heretic, and Oneness Apostolic Pentecostal.

No Compromise |
Oh no. Not this old ditty again. Me likes the White Oleander. Beautiful, and useful... Hemlock, also beautiful, and also useful... There is also the Mountain Laurel, Veratrum, Ragwort, Cerbera Odollom, Calla Lily, Laburnum, Naked Lady, Dead Cherries, Daphne, Bloodroot, Adenium, and Aconitum. All very beautiful. All very useful… I used to bring a large red rose, whenever I went to see my mother. She found them comforting in her final days. H&K-Guy | |||

I am preferential toward our roses and our hydrangeas. The Wife and I play with both in different ways- she makes the hydrangeas change color using acidic or basic soil treatments. It's fun to see the whites turn blue, then patchy, then a different shade of blue... I, on the other hand, sneak the roses a supplement of gunpowder which helps them out (don't knock it, they were half dead until the nitrogen in the powder kicked in). We've had a bang-up crop of roses ever since I started doing it. The soil at our place is very sandy and has clay underneath, YMMV. Clarior Hinc Honos BSA Dad, Cheer Dad | |||

I have a good sized, irrigated, rose bed on the south side of my house. I have planted all different colored roses. I enjoy them a lot. I used to cut fresh roses, when in season, and take them to my office manager everyday. She would put them out front for all to see and smell!! | |||

Serenity now! |
I love lilacs and any fruit tree when it's in bloom. Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice. ʘ ͜ʖ ʘ | |||

No good deed goes unpunished |
I love flowers! Peonies are my absolute favorite. I also love plumeria, camellias, phlox, and sweet pea. For smell, I love gardenias, hyacinth, and jasmine. | |||

Almost impossible. My choices are limited to wildflowers. Colorado columbine, sego lily, blanket flower, poppies (we called them "Arizona poppies," most say California poppies), Indian paintbrush, skyrocket gilia, and I'm among the lucky few who has seen Night-blooming cereus in flower and Calypso bulbosa a wild orchid that I've seen only once as well--probably that one _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

Daylillies, cannas, marigolds, coreopsis, and others. -- I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. JALLEN 10/18/18 https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...610094844#7610094844 | |||

I'm an organic gardener so my favorite is French marigolds. The scent masks many vegetable scent (i.e. doesn't attract unwanted pests/insects), the scent repels some nuisance pests/insects, and its roots repel some nematodes in the soil.

Easily Lavender. The flowers are nice, but it's the smell, culinary, and insect repellent uses that put it over the top.

Orange Blossoms. I was born and raised (mostly) in Florida. The smell of the orange blossoms remind me of my childhood. Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force, but through persistence. -Ovid NRA Life Member NRA Certified Basic Pistol Instructor | |||

The carnation is my favorite. The jasmine has the sweetest smell. He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||

Some folks have a particular gene that causes Brussels sprouts to taste bad to them. I dislike the smell of lilacs – maybe I have a gene that causes that. Serious about crackers | |||

Orchids, orchids, orchids, any type or color. They are exquisite plants. The Cattleyas, generally, have a most beautiful scent, one plant will envelope a room with its smell. Having said that, smell the flower of a Little Gem Magnolia and you'll be in heaven! | |||
