    What flowers do you HAVE to have in your garden? For me if have to be:

    petunias
    impatiens
    dragon wing begonias
    oriental lilies (love the fragrance)
    gardenia
    hibiscus
    mandavilla ( I have to brings these and hibiscus inside to overwinter)
    zinnias and 4 o'clocks (because my mother always had these)
    moonflowers
    daylilies
    cannas
    aways have to have a couple of ferns every year--I just can't seem to be able overwinter them.

    My goodness, I guess I just love everything!!
