Do you have a favorite plant in your garden?

My Dad loved Gladiolas. So of course, I've been planting them wherever I go. I dug up a bunch when we moved up here last year, to plant and their flowers make me happy!

That’s another one my grandmother always planted and that I love. (Her name was Gladys, and it’s also my birth month flower.)

I love daylilies! They are such an easy plant to grow; there is hardly any care required!

...and despite lack of care, they spread and thrive!

And they apparently make really good salad, or so my resident deer tell me. I only see flowers on mine if I fence them - but that tends to detract from their beauty.

Pansies, phlox and poppies spring to mind first.

Nice!

My absolute most favorite right now (for the past couple years) is Campfire rose!

Gorgeous!

Gladiolas are some of my all-time favorites! The colors they come in are stunning; I love your picture!

Really? I have never had problems with anything eating daylilies; but I have definitely had deer eating other plants

Turnips.
If you Let them go to seed they will replant thousands of them...for later.

i have one that just lost all the leaves and it's about a foot across. i doubt it will survive the winter to flower again next year, but they sure are a good cover crop along with the diakon radishes.

years ago i noticed that when they rot they smell like beer.

here the deer mostly have ignored them until they flower. i've eaten the flowers myself and they're ok if you like peppery notes.

Deer cleared out my daylillies in Medford OR every summer. I gave up and replanted something else.

So Pretty---thanks for sharing!!
I gave up growing them bc they won't overwinter here and I would forget to dig them up.
