My Favorite Flower


Peonies seriously have to be the most gorgeous flower!  My husband cut a bucketful of them for me a few days and some of them were huge....at least 9-10 inches in diameter!  Having them placed in vases around our house really brightened my day.  I love yellow roses, too, because they bring back memories of when I was in 8th. grade and responsible for watering our small rose garden...most of which were yellow.

What's YOUR favorite flower and why?

  3. I love peonies too, they're so lush and gorgeous. My very favorite though are lilacs. My great grandmother had a huge overgrown lilac bush beside her house when I was growing up. Eventually after she had died (at almost 100 years old!) her house passed around to a few relatives and I spent a year living there. During that time I had a boyfriend who one day came by to see me but first picked a handful of lilacs from the bush and presented me with a bouquet of handpicked lilacs. So they have a special place in my heart from my greatgrandmother and from the best flowers I ever had given to me by a boyfriend, and they smell good :)

  4. How did I forget lilacs?! I love lilacs, too, Phoebe. At our last house we had a purple lilac tree on one side of our porch and a white lilac tree on the other side. I really missed being there to see them this year.

    What a sweet memory for you. :)

  5. Oh, Vicki, You would have loved the town I grew up in! There was a
    Peony festival every year and just about every house in town had a peony bush or ten! When they bloomed the WHOLE town smelled awesome. Then there was a Peony parade, complete with Queen Peony on a giant peony covered float.
    LOL< I'll go next year and take pics so you can see.
