Red spider lily is my favorite because of its blood red hue and symbolism.

    Most of the time it’s tulips. They’re classic, not overly fancy, come in a ton of colors and a few different petal shapes if you need something a little extra, and they just remind me of spring and the shape makes me happy.

    The one I like that’s out of my league is the fuchsia. I wanted one for a few years, kept forgetting to buy one, and last year I finally got one. It was about double what I like to spend on plants because half of them die because I’m an over-waterer. The fuchsia lasted a week. 😣

    This thing looks magical though, and I still can’t believe it’s from this planet.

    I love the colours. These flowers grow naturally where I leave in southeast France. They’re very resistant and bloom all year long. They where my father’s favourite and mine too.

    Lilac. Growing up, my childhood home had lilac bushes all around the edge. I used to build forts underneath like it was my own private space. The smell of lilacs brings me back to my happy childhood.

    Smell-wise, night blooming jasmine. Effortless beauty, rain lilies and the black eyed susans. Pollinator attracting, I don’t know what it’s called but there is a lanky bush in my backyard with flowers like morning glories and when it blooms, it is a bee club, absolutely stuffed full of bees. So many bees come to that one plant every year late summer.

    That giant one that smells like a festering corpse. Because it’s funny but also I don’t have to deal with it.

    Snapdragons. My wife sometimes plants them to attract bees to her vegetable garden. The sight of bee butts wriggling to get inside those flowers never fails to make me smile.
