So hard to pick, but I am loving anemones right now.
I used to be obsessed with tulips and peonies, but I am really appreciating flowers that bloom for longer. |

| It's like being asked to choose your favorite child! I love many, but tops on the list is a native honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens 'Major Wheeler'. Blooms from late spring to hard frost, and attracts hummingbirds. |

| Anemones are pretty great. But I love the daylily best. Wild tiger lilies are my favorite, but I love them all. |

The heavenly smell. |

Gosh that is hard.
I also love anemone in the way that I love camelia, and lisianthus has a special place in my heart right next to hydrangea and lavender roses. I remember the first time I smelled a Korean spice viburnum, and I smile every time I brush past abelia in bloom. I appreciate wild violets and spring ephemerals .... No I just can't answer this. I'd need a book, and then the word favorite will never fit. |

| Basically everything in my mother’s garden. It appears so random and thrown together (and it mostly is) but every flower makes every other flower look good. I guess she just has excellent natural taste |

Oh how I would love to love anemones. I grow them, but the deer eat them before I ever see a bloom.
I love daffodils, in large part because the deer leave them alone. Also peonies. And lilacs. I’d say lilacs are my all time favorites. But I also love the variety that the seasons bring. Enjoying my black eyed Susans and daisies right now. And love watching the hydrangeas change over time. One flower I really don’t enjoy: crepe Myrtle. |

For cut flowers in my house, it’s always tulips. |

| Daylilies. And for smell, the best is gardenia. |
