    Hello everyone! Plants are beautiful, but I am sure that everyone have their favourites! I would like to tell you 3 of my besties!
    1. Roses - they are simply amazing. I am sure, that evry woman love them!
    2. Cactuses - easy to grow and look cool! There are plenty types of them, so every look different.
    3. Sarracenia - I have 2 of them, and they are my first carnivorous plants that I have. I fall in love with them! They are good looking and offbeat

    What about you? What are your favourite plants?

    It's hard to narrow down favorites. Dragon wing begonias are nice. This year I'm learning all about flower gardening. Columbines, Bee Balm, Passion Flowers. I love em all!

    Oh my, which is my favorite child? I do love roses, and we have about 30 of them. Zinnias are great--easy care, colorful, and the hummingbirds like them. Perhaps my third is Tropical Sage, which is indestructible, blooms frequently, and again is a favorite of bees and hummingbirds.

    Difficult question, but I have thinned it down to my 3 'must have' plants for my gardens:
    Peony
    Lilac
    Zinnia

    I like any plant that grows and blooms for me..unless it is a bully that crowds out others. I guess all of them are my favorites when they are in bloom or have pretty foliage.
