[DeposeTheBoyKing]

1. Daffodils, orchids and pansies

No pictures - too lazy at the moment.

[Mutley]

6. I understand.

I saw your thread. Sorry about your orchids. :(

[Haole Girl]

2. Rose

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

4. THAT is one gorgeous rose

[Haole Girl]

9. I wish I could take credit, but just snatched it off the web!

All of mine had so many bugs and yellow-spot(s), I didn't even try to grow them again when I moved last year. Though, my house doesn't seem the same without the occasional rose bud from the garden.

[Mutley]

7. Wow, that's gorgeous!

:o

:hi:

[NewWaveChick1981]

3. Daffodils, pansies, petunias, and bearded irises...

Oh, and daisies, roses, and tiger lilies. Did I mention I love flowers? :P

[Mutley]

5. No, really?

I couldn't tell. :P

[Jamastiene]

8. I wish I knew what variety of lilies lived at the place where

I grew up. I don't know if you ever watched Nirvana Unplugged, but the type of lilies Kurt Cobain picked for the stage were very close to the ones that grew back home. I can't go back and get them now, unfortunately. And I've never seen them in any store or catalog anywhere. The were white and the fronds/leaves were a light green color. They multiplied like crazy but the circumstances of our leaving were too messed up for me to be able to get many of them.

I wish I knew what variety they were. I have never seen them anywhere else. Like I said, the closest was the ones on the Nirvana Unplugged stage.

[Mutley]

12. I have seen that, but I can't remember the flowers.

There are a brazillion types of lilies. Maybe you can find it here:

17. Thanks.

I'd love to find some of them for sale sometime when I have some money to spend on flowers again. I miss my garden. I gotta tame this jungle where I live now. I've been curse with the hardest red clay I have ever felt. I tried to dig a little spot to plant 2 azaleas that I bought and bent my shovel. My stepdad came over and said, we'll use a pick axe. He took a good swing at that clay and you could hear the pickaxe vibrating like a tuning fork when he struck the clay with it. He said it was tough ground too. I thought it was just me before he said that.

10. Lilies of the valley

Very tiny, very delicate.

[Mutley]

13. Ooo, purdy.

:hi:

[auntAgonist]

11. my favourite flower is the Orchid .. like this one...

[Mutley]

15. Orchids are probably my second favorite.

:hi:

[querelle]

14. Gardenia

Just one bloom in a bowl can fill a whole room with fragrance.

Q

[Mutley]

16. Beautiful!

I'll have to give those a shot sometime. :)

[AirmensMom]

41. That's pretty.

:loveya: My gardenia bush blossomed just before we moved from FL. It was FULL of flowers and the whole yard smelled pretty.

[sarge43]

18. Roses

Then lilac, lavender, daffies, bee balm, corn flowers, iris, tiger lilies.

[Mutley]

20. Oooh, lavender's a good one, too.

:hi:

[grannylib]

28. My lavender bloomed like CRAZY this year! And I love lilacs too...

one of my favorite scents.

[sarge43]

43. We're in Zone 4, so just a bit too cold for lavender, but lilacs

are the state flower, so end of May we have a glory of them. Everybody has at least one lilac bush in the yard.

[maveric]

19. Bird of Paradise

Facinating!

[Mutley]

21. Wow, I've never seen one of those.

Beautiful! :D

[maveric]

23. Come to SoCal.

They are all over here.
An employer of mine had 75 year old BOP plants on he property. They were 20 ft high and the flowers spred out to 18+ inches.

[idgiehkt]

22. ladyslippers

Those are stargazer lillies, I believe. Tiger lillies are orange. :yoiks:

[Mutley]

24. Eh? The little nursery near me call's 'em tiger lilies.

:(

Either way, they're one o' my favorites. :P

[ghostsofgiants]

25. ...

[Mutley]

29. I miss Mario Bros.

:cry: :cry:



:D

[grannylib]

26. Old roses...the really full-blown, heavily-scented kind, not the ones

that have beautiful shapes but no scent.
I also love native prairie plants from my area: purple coneflowers, prairie clover, brown eyed susans...
And our state flower, the Showy Lady's Slipper orchid, is lovely!

[Mutley]

30. Cool.

Maryland's state flower is black-eyes susans. :D

[grannylib]

36. Here's the Lady's Slipper (hope this works!)

[sarge43]

39. Rugosas roses are another knock your socks off heavily scented.

Also, they're as tough as bowling balls. They grow along the roads up here and get drenched in oil and salt, but still thrive. Plus, they don't like to be pampered. They're a great choice for difficult situations.

[bridgit]

27. i like fowers, but i like sunflowers too...tis the season...

B-)

[Mutley]

31. Oh yeah.

I love the huge ones you can pick the seeds from. :D

[bridgit]

32. um hm, i should maybe try to make some kind of hummus'y dip...

from flavored, like garlic maybe, sunflower seeds...i wonder if it would work :-)

33. Simbelmyne

In Rohan on the western side of the barrows of their kings, grew small white flowers in the grass, so many that they were compared to drifted snow and countless stars. Gandalf compared them to bright eyes in the grass.
How fair are the bright eyes in the grass! Evermind they are called, simbelmyne in this land of men, for they blossom in all the seasons of the year, and grow where dead men rest."
Gandalf

Simbelmyne is a flower that grows on the burial mounds of the Kings of Rohan. It is a small white flower that blossoms throughout the year. It grows on land where the dead are buried, particularly upon the barrows of the Kings of Rohan. The flowers are said to grow thickest on the ninth mound in the first row, where Helm Hammerhand was buried.

34. Yellow crysanthemum

It's the symbol of my fraternity and the Japanese imperial house.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

35. I'm a rose girl...

But given my name I also like the heather plant... very hardy, and grows in Scotland! :D

[mitchum]

37. Poppies

[Guava Jelly]

38. I like this one

[AirmensMom]

40. I'm sort of liking orchids these days.

'cause moving didn't kill them. :loveya:

[Guava Jelly]

44. I would have to go with orchids also

so many beautiful variations

[jus_the_facts]

42. Magnolias...

[Kali]

45. Too hard to pick a fave, but I do have a pic in photobucket of one

Coral Bean grows wild around 4500 feet in my area

[crim son]

46. All deeply scented flowers: lavender, lilac, oriental or trumpet

lilies, jasmine, magnolia and old roses. My favorite spring flower is this one: Red Charm peony. It has a slight scent but what I love is it's blood red to maroon color and the fact that it is HUGE.

[acmavm]

47. I've always loved hollyhocks

[Skittles]

48. Canterbury Bells

[idgiehkt]

49. yes!

these are so pretty.
