2 Favs come to mind
I have 2, the Bleeding Heart
And Morning Glories.
Photos from my yard. The Morning Glories are actually for Central Park, NYC. By the giant meadow (Sheep Meadow?) they have morning glories along the fence. When I go in for treatments, I sometimes walk cross town and cut through the park. I did that one fall day when these had gone to seed so I grabbed some seeds and now I have them in my yard.

Fav flower
Well, I guess it depends on the occasion or purpose.
My favorite smelling flower is lilac. Last year my husband FILLED the house with them. I came home from surgery and every room was filled, even the bathrooms. He had the kids in the garage putting them in containers...he must have spent hours going around collecting them and then putting them in water and around the house.
My favorite flower to receive in the winter is tulips. I got 3 dozen tulips for my birthday in January...really feels like spring is coming when you have tulips around.
Roses are romantic - I like the salmon colored ones the best.
Lily of the Valley along my deck gives me a heavenly fragrance while enjoying my morning coffee in the early summer.
Hydrangea make magnificent arrangements and are easy to grow and cut in my own yard.
I guess I just like flowers!

that is a hard oneVickiCO said:VickiCO
Ohhh...hard one!
I love Iris, and Calla Lilies, oh and daffodils and Hollyhocks! I grow roses, but am allergic so I can't bring them inside until I dry them.
Then there are columbines (CO state flower) and clematis...
I guess I can't chose!

But Sunflowers. They are just gorgeous, big, bright yellow flowers of happiness.....but a close second is the Bird of paradise, I used to have them growing wild in my yard when i lived in Florida0 -
Cherry Blossoms!
I love oodles of flowers.... but if we are talking "Spring" then the ones that stand out the most for me is the gorgeous Cherry Blossom trees! Once they are out in full bloom, then I know spring is here
I took this picture right around the corner from where I live. Somewhere, I do have a picture of the Cherry Blossoms on my own street, but I can't seem to find that picture right now.
This is my artsy shot where, standing under a tree that is in full bloom, looking up and seeing the blue sky between the blossoms
This picture is not quite as sharp, but was taken downtown Vancouver at the Burrard St. SkyTrain station (the equivalent of an above ground underground tube station). But, it does give the message of how beautiful it can be to walk under an arch of the cherry blossoms
I can never get tired of seeing these trees in bloom and when the season is over, walking down the street and it feels like you are walking through white and pink snow

I love those too. This is one of my favorite shots that I've taken. I took this at an organic farm that I go to.

Great photos Cheryl, I'd love to go to DC (or BC for that matter) to see them sometime. My brother went last weekend.
This is an Apple/Crab Apple tree we have in our backyard. It hasn't bloomed this year yet but when it does we get pink and white blossoms on it.

Spring
thanks all for the beautiful flower shots.....gorgeous...
guess one of my favorites would be the peony which has
huge dinner plate blossoms in late spring....great for
cutting for indoor vases. The Cincinnati Flower Show
is this month and it is always interesting to see the
exhibits which include designing dinner tables around
a flower theme and flower arrangements designs and
outdoor arrangements.....a huge event.

Orchids!
I've thoroughly enjoyed the many posts of beautiful flowers on this thread. I have to confess that I've never met a flower I don't thoroughly enjoy.
I have two small greenhouses and I thoroughly enjoy growing (and sometimes blooming) orchids. The photo with this post is a close-up of one of my absolute favorites, a Cymbidium tracyanum. It is an Asian species orchid, originating in Myanmar, Thailand and China and is astonishingly exotic. Nature is amazing!

I put this into my message (except it was enclosed by angle brackets):

This is a web reference to where the picture is stored on Flickr, which is a site which lets you make a free account where you can upload digital photos. Once you have some photos uploaded there, it gives you an easy way to copy-paste references like the one I used, so you can display your photos in messages.

Flower
My favorite flower in the house is the African Violet. I used to have some beautiful ones, however I no longer have any due to my Kitty. Outside though I love impatients, petunia's, hydrangea's, hosta's, astilbe's. Gardening is my most favorite thing to do. It is what keeps me active and what I love to do.0
