What are your favorite flowers?
I like a lot of flowers, but these are my favorites and what I got this year:

Streptocarpella Concord Blue--in my hanging baskets on the porch. A fuzzy leafed plant with purply flowes that trails down the sides and the hummingbirds love it.

Geraniums--I got a Rose Geranium and yum! Plus a citronella one(lemony scent) and some red ones.

Dianthus

Verbena--so many colors this year! I really like the pink ones

Blue lobelia

Plectranthus-Silver leaf Nicolleta--a shade plant with fuzzy silver leaves--new this year

Licorice plant--another silvery leafed plant that's kinda fuzzy--filler plant

These daisy-looking flowers that have a dark center and they open in the morning and close at night. Don't remember the name. I got purple ones and white/purple ones

And of course, I love Cosmos and Calendula and Marigolds and and and.....


So, what's on your flower list?

I love lots of flowers, but my favorite to grow myself are pansies. I love all the different color combinations. They are just so bright and cheerful. :)

We live in a hot climate and have basically no shade in our yard so my flower options are a bit limited. some of my favorites are lilacs but they won't grow here. I also really like Zinnias for cutting and they grow beautifully for a long time here. I planted somd dahlias and peonys also but only one came up and I'm not sure which one it is yet from the leaves so its a surprise :smile I'm also trying to grow some morning glories along our fence and I really hope they spread like crazy!
