My Favorite Flower
#73
My favorite flowers are calla lilies. Even the name is beautiful! I never really had a favorite flower until I got engaged and started trying to figure out what kind of flowers we should have in our wedding.
Now they have a special significance for me! They're so...pure, and graceful, and beautiful. :)

Yep love carnations too..they don't seem to be as fragrant as they used to be for some reason. I might have to get some seeds and plant some this year.

When we lived in Germany I worked in the floral shop on base. My friend and I, both artists, sewers, etc winged the whole thing- we had no idea what we were really doing but hey- we did great and had fun. At Christmas many soldiers had been invited to have dinner at the homes of German families and wanted flowers. We looked around at our tiny stock(the shop was the size of a one car garage) and made bouquets from Red Carnations white dasies and eucalyptus. Lovely boquets and we sold alot. After the fact the shop owner, who was german, came to check on us. We with pride showed how high our sales had been and he asked what we had done to bring them up so high for those few days. When we told him he shock his head. Apparently daisies and carnations were traditional funeral flowers in Germany and were never to be given to a host of a meal. Oops! Well, he must have realized were wernet hopeless we came up with some ideas that quadrupabled his sales above even hi largest shop for valentines day

asking for a favorite flower is like asking a quilter if they would like to go fabric shopping...lol..just kidding. My first fav is Iris...very closely followed by daylilies, hosta, roses, hibiscus and hydrangea and and and

I love all flowers, and my favorite is whatever is blooming now!! Right now I have IRIS. sweet peas and the lemon tree in bloom. Roses starting to pop out and poppies are blooming. Smells like heaven in my yard.
