    Oh gosh, there are sooooo many choices. Having perennial gardens, every 3 weeks or so the gardens change.

    In April I would have to say the daffodils and jonquils.
    In May, I love all the tulips.
    Iris is my favourite in June.
    All the lilies in July.
    August will bring the Black-eyed-Susans.
    In September, I love the grasses and Sunflowers.
    By October everything is dying back but the Autumn Joy Sedum is still blooming.

    Gladioli, which is really a spring flower for us, along with Amaryllis.

    For summer, it's a no brainer, DAYLILIES!!!!!!!

    My favorite annual flower would have to be the zinnia. :stew1: I think my favorite perennial would have to be the hydrangea-they are so beautiful in arrangements.

    I don't really have a fav here. I do like plants I can bring in the house in the winter. I divide them & make new plants to have & put out new plants in the spring. A few of these are caladiums, violets, geraniums, ivy's, coleus, etc...

    I love roses, different colors of them - yellow, red, pink and white. They smell so nice that they make me smile and relaxed! I also love orchids, daisies, sunflowers, jasmine, especially when they are blown by the wind. Joy@gardening

    My favorite is anything that is blooming, while it is blooming. Short attention span because there is just so much beauty all around.
