Daisys

Daisies are so sweet and timeless, @maribethsmom. They always remind me of summer fields. Do you enjoy growing them in your garden or do you like them better in bouquets?

Pansies are my favorite. But I’ll take a flower bouquet any day. I love flowers!!

@Eileen, pansies have the happiest little faces. And with so many colors, they’re a joy to see.

Nothing beats the scent of fresh lilacs.

I agree with you, @mmarple, nothing compares to the scent of lilacs. It can fill a whole yard in just one breeze.

Iris, the state flower of Tennessee

That’s such a meaningful choice, @ghandi44. The iris is elegant, and I love that it’s the Tennessee state flower.

My favorite kind is whatever is on sale at the florist shop.

You made me smile, @Peterbee. Sometimes the best bouquet really is the one on sale.

Hibiscus for out doors and Carnations in house. Though love all flower but allergic to Lilacs and Lilys

I like your mix, @Arkie98. Hibiscus outside and carnations indoors sounds perfect. Too bad about the lilacs and lilies with allergies though.

Hibiscus and Cosmos

@mynana, hibiscus and cosmos together must make such a cheerful garden. Cosmos always look so light and airy when the wind blows.

Zinnias!! My garden is full of them. The hummers, bees, and butterflies are drawn to them. I go out and stand stock still just watching their joy in discovering their nectar. Yesterday, I was treated to a full on dog fight between two female hummers!

Your story made me smile, @GaryBlake. A garden full of zinnias buzzing with hummers and bees sounds magical. That hummingbird ‘dog fight’ must have been something to see.

Sunflowers

@nortomb, sunflowers are such a happy choice. Their big golden faces always seem to turn toward the sun.

Easter Lily

Easter lilies are so meaningful, @Susleo59. Their fragrance and shape always bring a sense of peace. Do you keep them mostly for the holiday or year-round?

 

[Sophia M.]

Gardenia. Intoxicating fragrance you can smell just by walking past it.

I agree with you, @bdebonte. Gardenias have such an intoxicating fragrance—you can catch it just walking by.

Oriental lily

@dkleslie52, oriental lilies are gorgeous with their bold blooms. Their perfume fills a whole room. Do you have a favorite color among them?

 

[Sophia M.]

Peonies, Hollyhocks and Gladioli

That’s a wonderful trio, @RoyzToyz. Peonies, hollyhocks, and gladioli must make a stunning summer display.

 

[Sophia M.]

Gardenias, lilacs, and cattleya orchids

@Teachmh, that’s quite an elegant list. Gardenias, lilacs, and cattleya orchids each have their own unforgettable fragrance.

 

[Sophia M.]

Lilacs

I’m with you, @Romie127+5, lilacs are unforgettable. Their scent brings back so many memories for people. Do you have a favorite color—purple, white, or even pink?

 

[Sophia M.]

Gardenias

@JuliaMOlive, gardenias seem to be a favorite here, and for good reason. That sweet fragrance lingers in the air.

I love that answer, @Mabel. Sometimes the prettiest or sweetest-smelling flowers bring the biggest smiles. Is there a particular scent that always cheers you up?
