15. Roses, but not teas
My favorite roses are the highly fragrant and ever-blooming old-fashioned pink shrub roses growing in the yard of my parents 100-year-old farm house. They're not the most beautiful but when the air is filled with their perfume it is intoxicating.

Lilacs come in second but they are short lived. Sweet Pea's are third in my book of favorites.

35. well...
Mad and I are co-workers, but we share an intense level of anger towards the System, the Man, and the powers that be. So it's almost fair to say we're related. yey.:headbang:

23. I love tulips
I know they thrive in northern climates, but has anyone ever grown any in the south? I'd love to plant some eventually, but I've heard they don't do well in warm climates.
