my daughter in law had a bouquet of orange ones when she married my son - looked gorgeous

she also had a matching tribute to put on my husband's stone just outside the entrance to the church that day - it was a lovely thought

Dear Ladies

Hello

My favourites are roses, any colour at all.

Our local park has set aside an area for wild flowers to be cultivated and
there are now tall stems of lavender.

I passed by them today and thought how beautiful they looked
by the 300 year old oak tree.

The community gardeners have recently put up information boards about the history of the park, wildlife and flowers.

Take gentle care
Best wishes
Elizabeth, EOS

Difficult question. I love all flowers and don't really have a favourite. I love roses that have a scent, Sweet peas ditto, Freesias ditto. Yes I like Gerberas and orchids too. Then there are snowdrops and primroses, forgetmenots and irises. I could go on, I did warn you.

I love just about all flowers but one of my favourites is livingstone daisies, I love the way they open their little faces to the sun.

ADDED: Musn't forget my night scented stock, not a stunner to look at through the day but the smell at night is lovely.

RoseoftheShires Report 3 Jul 2013 22:20

Hi Rach
My favourites are Roses without a doubt.Love almost any flowers but not Lillies.
I have to cut out the stamens if I have any as the scent gives me a right headache.
Is it stamens? The bits with pollen on lol .I'm not that keen on Chrysanthemums either.
I bet your garden is looking lovely now :-D
