    Picking a favorite is a challenge. I have always liked daisies and red roses. Since I chose them for my wedding, I would have to say that they are my favorite.

    I also love wild flowers and spring flowers of any kind, and the aroma of Sweet Asylum is unmatched!

    Spring:

    My most favorite for early spring is my white dwarf Rhodi that I bought for one of my dogs.

    Second the Violas

    Third would be Lewisa cerise color.

    It could all change because I have many seeds that I swapped last year.

    This was a fun forum to read! Since it is winter, I'm dreaming about all the flowers to come. I think I might have a new answer every time I'm asked what my favorite summer flower is! :)
    Thinking about it today, I love the annual impatiens in my shade gardens. They brighten up the shade and just keep on blooming all summer. :stew2:
    I plant them in large numbers so they really make a statement, I especially love the white ones, they shine at night!

    Roses are my all time favorites, but Daylilies, esp reblooming ones, and Hydrangeas run a close second.

    I absolutely love my feathery Astillbe, but always look forward to my daylilies. :D
