I don't think there is a thread for this, so, just post what your favourite is and why you love it!

Bluebonnets, because they grow without any help from me. My green thumb doesn't extend to flowers.

Roses--now that I discovered mini's and the knockout rose, sweet william, yarrow, rose of sharon, marigolds and geraniums.

I love Amrylis and Asiatic Lillies. The Amrylis remind me of my father, he always had them in his beds - and the Asiatic Lillies (Specifically Stargazers) where the flowers in my wedding bouquet. Both grow well here in Alabama.

My all-time favorite flower is whichever one I am looking at or smelling at the time. Honestly, I love them all.

I don't know if I have just one! My husbands favorite are hollyhocks and I love yellow flowers...all of them! Lillies are one of my favorites, I love how they just keep producing more bulbs and more flowers every year. Creeping phlox is another, I have a huge patch of creeping phlox and it is absolutly beautiful in full bloom. It is just starting to bloom now.

Dahlias!!!!! I just love 'em......have had them since 1962. I started with two varieties and progressed to over 200 different varieties.....4 plants became 2,000 plus plants. I love ALL flowers.....but the Dahlia has ALWAYS been my all time favorite.....

Rusty,
How do you over winter your tubers? I have not had alot of experience with dahlias and my problems start after I dig them up. What is the best way to store them?

Thanks,
Christie
