Favourite Flower

#1 Post by Sugarinii »

Kind of a girly question, but eh.

I like Sunflowers myself. I prefer the traditional yellow ones but the red ones are also pretty. :D

Purple Orchids and Forget-Me-Nots tie for second. ^ ^

I love lilies and yellow roses. Those are the only two flowers I can be bothered to grow.

African Violets. Especially the ones with the petals that sparkle and look like sugar. :)

Oooh! I had one of those. Then I accidentally touched it and it died on me :cry: :cry: :cry:

So now I have a huge heap of Purple Hastas... not my favourite, but that's what I've got to work with. One can't always grow what they want to. I also think that peonies are a very nice flower.

P.S.: I think that flowers shouldn't be a girl-only subject, even if it is. I like to garden, and it shouldn't be stigmatic that girls only like flowers. There are those of us guys that like 'em too. 0:)

My grandfather could make any flower grow beautifully except African violets. I guess my favorite flowers were always the ones he grew. I wish I could find out his secret. =P

I like those black roses. Well they arn't black they are really dark dark dark blue but doesn't matter. They look black.

I also like those red roses with black edges and the roses are of a really dark red.

I've never particularly gone flower searching to find one I like, but I have always loved the multi coloured (red/orange/yellow) marrigolds. It's like they're on fire with coolness. It makes sense.

Tulips! They look so simple (compared to some other flowers), but they're so pretty and elegant. They remind me of spring, but they're arguably a lil more alternative than daffodils ;)

In general, I tend to like the tiny wildflowers and weed-flowers. The ones you don't really notice unless you actually stand still and peer at the ground closely. They're so cute!

Roses. Mostly roses and sunflower. I do like most other flowers, but those two are the ones I like the most.

Sweet! Nice to see I am not the only guy that likes flowers! :hug:

I do like sunflowers, but everytime I see one, I think of dead bones and it raining blood. I can't get that scene out of my mind, if anyone knows what I am talking about.

I have never really thought about having favorite flower so in reply I have to say that I don't have a favorite flower.

How can you pick one when there so many beautiful flowers on this planet?

My most hated plant on the other hand I can say without a shadow of a doubt is Stinging Nettles. The good thing that is useful for is nettle tea.
