Love for flowers

What flower do you love the most, why and what's its origin? Waiting for all your replies...

Mine: I love those fully grown roses

Wait! What are your favorite perennial flowers? with the last post less than 2 weeks ago is on this sub-forum.

How about annuals?

Okay. I can be in both camps . Since they have to be in a very, very protected location to survive as a perennial in a colder, temperate Winter – how about Snapdragons? Lifting above smaller, border plants, contrasting from  face flowers, available in many, beautiful colors (!), they have a gentle, pleasant fragrance. You can even grow those that don't  snap at you!

An annual plant that is easy to grow — the Snapdragon.

I love sunflowers, peonies, camelias, and so many more! I have loved camelias since I was 8 years old. We lived in an old house that had a narrow bricked path along the east side of the house where there were lots of different plants and flowers growing. It was kind of a secret place that was protected on one side by an old tall wooden fence that separated our place from the neighbors. It also had mosses and vines growing there and a trellis with gorgeous lilacs climbing over to make shade. It was quiet and the fragrance was so lovely.

Also,

What are your favorite perennial flowers?

What are some of your favorite perennials? I need some ideas for my flower garden! (I will also count plants that are technically annuals but re-seed well)

I love bulb flowers. Daffodils, narcissus, so bright and cheery early in spring. Plant them, forget them, and they come back year after year.

As mentioned, I’ve posted a lot of favorites in my perennials thread, but another top favorite flower (annuals in my area) is dahlias! I believe there is a dahlia thread on here as well.

I would do Dahlias, too, but the digging out and winterizing won't justify my energy right now.
I will satisfy my Dahlia itch for Your photos!

Here is the thread. @Shades-of-Oregon has some lovely varieties pictured on there (and I've posted some of my favorites as well)

@Blueberry Acres you posted some mighty fine dahlias on the same thread. Dahlias are my favorite flowers for the late summer to early fall season.

To upgrade my bragging rights to compliment a few more pics of my dahlia collection-all from tubers. Sorry couldn’t resist the temptation to show off some of them again.
