What is your favorite flower?
 
Orchid is my favorite flower, I really like it.

Well mine is an orchid too. I think I would have to be more specific and say that the Slipper orchids are really my favourites. Probably the Phragmipedium types with long twisted petals.

Well, orchids of course! :biggrin:
But other than those, I do have some favorite 'normal' flowers. My favorite fragrant flowers are lilac and lily of the valley. In the non fragrant ones I really like Hemerocallis.

You can if you store the bulbs in the fridge for a long period (can't remember how long). Much more work, and I suppose the flowers don't last as long in such a warm climate, but it is possible.

It would be impossible for me to pick a favorite. I'm fond of chids, that's for sure, but there are so many beautiful flowers. Variety is the "spice of life".

Enablers are us, whether it's orchids or other plants. :evil: :rofl::rofl:
