    Spring flowers, daffodils, tulips, crocus but my very favorite are lily-of-the-valley.

    I have lily-of-the-valley in my garden and they were my grandma's favorite.:smile:

    Miniature roses, currently :-)

    Thought you all would be interested in the Miracle Fruit plant. I was intrigued when I last visited a plant nursery (in Queensland, Australia). They were selling the Miracle Fruit plant, Synsepalum dulcificum. The label said, Although not sweet itself this miraculous fruit, consumed fresh and allowed to coat the mouth alters your tastebuds so that everything you eat tastes sweet, all acid foods, such as lemon will taste deliciously sweet. The effect will last up to several hours. Miracle Fruit is a large slow growing shrub native to tropical Africa and prefers rich well-drained soils in a protected, partially shaded position.

    Interesting.

    Calla lilies and carnations. Roses are pretty but I can't stand the smell of them.

    Zucchini blossoms stuffed with cheese and fried. Mmmmm.

    Seriously, though, jasmine and citrus can't be beat for aroma. :flowerforyou:

    Tulips and daisies. I hate when the tulips drop the petals and they are just stems. Then you don't know if you should cut them back or not. Then you do when you plant mid-spring flowers and feel guilty. Or is that just me? Maybe I'll just stick with daises.

    I do a little and then I need to just let it go...:happy:

    I have two: irises and lilacs. They bloom around the same time, at least where I live, at the beginning of June. It's also my favorite time of the year. I grow massive amounts of flowers and I would say my dahlias are my showstoppers.

    Orchids. The Missouri Botanical Garden has an orchid show each year. You can walk around for hours admiring all the different varieties and hybrids. Pretty cool.

    My daughter is named Lily and my sister gave her a lily when she was born.
    We take a picture of Lily with her lily every year.

    What a lovely tradition, and such a wonderful picture! Made me smile.

    My favourite flower is freesia....very delicate and oh, what a beautiful scent! Same for lavonde roses - they are lavender and soooo sweet-smelling! I used to be a florist and I miss it beucase I miss the flowers!

    This was last year, when she was eight.
    They're both growing so fast...
