What is Your Most Favourite Plant ?

School girl error! I forgot the ? in the title ?

Today it’s chocolate cosmos. I’m having a phase of loving really dark flowers, and these are so beautiful.

ooh Casdon that plant is really gorgeous...is it a hardy plant as not very green fingered? FannyCornforth love ferns..they just grow and grow and like their structure and feel...

I love pansies with their wee faces trailing out of baskets ,or Livingstone daisies closing up at night ,The sweet purple tiny flowers of my Honesty and the silver pennies when the flowers are gone oh and Oxalis the dark shamrock looking leaves and white flowers that spread themselves all over any vacant space in my borders .
I'm a fairly new gardener but I did watch my Dad for yearsa nd both he and my FIL won many prizes every year for their gardens and flowers/veg .I've a lot to catch up on and live up to

No particular favourite, but I love being among trees, and conifers in general. Just standing under tall hemlock, spruce and cedar brings calm to me - the smell, the quiet majesty of them.

For garden plants - lilacs, sweet peas and perhaps hostas.

Gaillardia always make me smile.

Daisies of every type. Sweetpeas and roses

If I really have to choose I think it would be oriental lilies.

But then, there's the first snowdrops of spring....

And my Gertrude Jekyll roses...
And...
And...

So many pleasures

I love salvias. There are so many varieties to choose from and are easy to propagate so great for swapping with other salvia collectors.

I'd have to say my favourite is wild cow parsley which looks terrible right now but in the spring it's gorgeous at the edge of woods and along the lane.

Right now the white balloon flower, especially in the twilight.

But I'll have a different answer for each month!

If I had to choose just one then it would be a white foxglove i think as that's something I have had in every garden I've ever lived with.

Can't have one favourite.......love roses, fuchsias, pansies, hebes and so many others, but if I have to choose just one then it's a daffodil. You can't look at a bunch of daffodils and not smile, well I can't anyway

I am very fond of Brunnera. Lots of lovely forget me not type flowers but none of the mildew problems. One the flowers have finished, there is a mound of attractive leaves.

Dandelions. So unwanted, yet so relentlessly cheerful.

Callistemon, of course ?

Rosie51, same here. I just don't like the constant 'favourite' questions- town, animal, bird, holiday, and on, and on. I like so many flowers for different reasons and at different times. On Gardener's World tonight, 1 gardener only keeps one plant- gink boa and all its many cultivars. And I just don't get it (but glad it is what he enjoys).

For me it's all about the scent - roses, lilac, sweetpeas.....

And night scented stock, that a male relative recently described as old ladies' favourites. Guilty as charged!

Agapanthus and Camassia. I love their ‘sturdiness’.

Oh yes, I've just bought some Agapanthus after failing to find any at the garden centre for a couple of years.
Bright, cheerful and bold!

I always thought they were difficult to grow but in fact they are quite tough plants. They seemed to grow wild in Portugal when we went there.

Daffodils. They are not just beautiful and cheerful to look at, but represent new life, a new beginning, a new season of hope .
In the house, I love my maidenhair fern bought recently. It's so graceful.

I agree, see my post of 19.03. Daffodils are such happy flowers, they foretell of more clement weather, of longer hours of daylight, of such positiveness!

I'm also a lover of ferns, they are so beautiful. They remind me of damp woods and babbling streams.

For flowers wild primroses, lilacs, wisteria, sweet peas and pink roses.

I absolutely love jasmine in the summer - the scent fills the garden during the day and at night too. It is so exotic.
