    Default What's Your favorite Flower?

    Now that I've decided to start some seedlings for my yard sale, I'm trying to decide what kinds of flowers to grow.

    So, what's your favorite flower?

    Oh I so love pansy and Johnny Jump ups (Viola, cornuta)
    The blossoms are like faces, each one has its own. The little jump ups are like mini pansies and seem to grow when nothing else will!

    I have to say for a garden, mine are Snapdragons. My Grampa grew them and every time I see one, I am reminded of him.

    p.s. now that we own a home with lot's of land I'm going to plant every flower I just mentioned above..I can't wait to have my own little flower patch that I can make my own bouquets of fresh flowers to cut and bring into my house...

    I actually have 3 favorites...cone flowers, shasta daisies and black eyed susans. For annuals I like Dragon's Wing Begonia's...they'd be great for your yard sale...my dil gave me one in a birthday cup, I put in in a deck rail pot all by itself and it grew big enough to fill the entire pot and stood about 18" above the rim.

    Well this is going to be really corny so I apologize in advance.



    This is Daisy on the left, Lily on Santa's lap and Azalea on the right. They're my faves.
