    Thirteen of my Favorite Flowers!

      Since Spring is here, finally, and since this is my “garden” let me share with you some of my favorite flowers. Some of these photos were taken in my yard, some while traveling, some I found on the net. I look forward to this time of year, when I start to see the blooms popping up, it’s so promising isn’t it?

        1. The Yellow Rose….of course! The yellow rose indicates friendship and freedom. But to me they are just beautiful!

          2. Wisteria – It’s beautiful and it’s purple! I love to see this bloom every spring! The way it drips down…gorgeous!

            3. Hibiscus – Tropical and beautiful! I took this picture in the Bahamas….they were everywhere!

              4. Azaleas – I love these! This photo was taken while we were in Savannah, Georgia. The colors are gorgeous and when they bloom you know Spring is here!

                5. Sunflowers – Big and Beautiful!

                  6. A field of daisies -Makes me want to run through it barefoot! What do you say, wanna join me?

                    7. Gerbera Daisies – I love these big, bright daisies…they remind me of the 70′s! They are so cheerful, I always smile when I see them.

                      8. Stargazer Lilies – Another big beautiful flower that just makes me smile! I’ve used these so many times for wedding bouquets and floral arrangements, but I have never gotten tired of them. They are just so pretty!

                      9. Stock – This is something I used alot when I was working as a floral designer. I love this flower! It has a wonderful clove scent to it.

                        10. Hydrangea – This plant is from my backyard…pretty isn’t it? I can’t wait for it to bloom again this year!

                          11. Larkspur – It’s tall, majestic and purple!

                            12. Freesia – This beauty smells wonderful! And it’s so pretty!

                              13. And last but not least, what southern gal does not include in her favorites the Magnolia! Seeing this big beautiful flower bloom just say’s, Southern Charm!!

                                So now you have walked through my garden, before you leave tell me what is your favorite flower?

                                                  The planets must still be screwed up YR..that left panel has crept over again..I’m gonna cry. This is such a beautiful post..I can see the pictures but I can’t see the first couple of beginning letters of those words at the left on each of your sentences…BOO HOO, BOO HOO, BOO HOO…

                                                  I’m here tonight from Wendy’s and so happy to see all the gorgeous flowers from your garden…Spring! There is nothing like it, is there?

                                                  My god they’re all stunning. Can’t just find the exact words to describe it. They’re all beautiful. Hibiscus here in our country is called Gumamela.

                                                  Great list, and great photos. So many of those I love. But my all time favourite is the tiger lily. But I also like hydrangeas (I call them Grandma flowers because both my grandmothers’ grew them beautifully) and sunflowers (I have pictures of me in fields of them in Italy) and tulips (lots of pics of these in Amsterdam). I just can’t choose one…

                                                  My TT is up.

                                                  I LOVE the flowers! Our day here is going to be wonderful, so I’m spending time outside in the garden with my boys.

                                                  Hey! Also love the song that’s playing on your site!

                                                  Sorry about two of my “Chaotic Mom” on your auto link. I pressed Return to quickly the first time… )

                                                  Wow, love all the flowers…Thanks, now I’m homesick for Savannah! Great pictures and it put a smile on my face with my coffee this morning! (Of course my favorites were the daisies…big surprise huh?).

                                                  My favourite flower is the blubell. It reminds me of my grandmother )

                                                  I love Stargazer Lilies and Magnolias. I like colorful roses too. And anything that looks exotic! lol

                                                  How beautiful! I love hydrageas too as well as many other you mentioned. One you did not mention that I love because it just smells SO good is the gardenia.

                                                  My T13 is up too!

                                                  Thanks for posting pictures along with names. I don’t know a lot about flowers .. I’m one of those people that say, “Oh you know, the purple one.” lol

                                                  I have to agree with you, the yellow rose is my favorite, too.

                                                  Great pics! I used stargazer lilies in my wedding and have been in love with them ever since. My TT is up too. Happy Thursday!

                                                  I loved walking through your garden. I love every single flower. I don’t think I can pick a favorite. I love magnolias, hydrangeas, gerbera daisies, wisteria. I’ll tell ya… the only flowers I have in my garden similar to yours… sunflowers and (pink) roses- my gr. grandma’s rose bush! I want to add azaleas, hydrangeas, gerbera daisies and wisteria. Mmmm… it’s warming up outside already!

                                                  My favorite flower? Well when anyone asks me that, I always say…

                                                  I have been loving the daffodils this week – we never had many yellow flowers in Florida and they are my favorites.

                                                  WHAT? No gardenias???? Otherwise, it is a great list and most of them are on my list too, along with irises, grape hyacinths and regular hyacinths. The aroma!
