-----------------------------------------------------------------
It is spring and we have been working in the garden on some sunny days. Soon there will be a lot of flowers in the garden. My favorite flowers are roses and lavender. We have them in different corners of the garden. These are the pictures I took in the past.
I like both flowers because it is amazing watching the stages how the buds develop and open. They smell nice and the colors are incredibly amazing when you look at them closely. At the end of the summer we always have dried lavender in the house.
And you, what is your favorite outdoor plant(s) or flower(s)? Could you tell us why the particular flowers or plants are so special for you? Share it in a comment below. After 3 weeks’ time (5th May) I will randomly pick the winner from the comments and this winner can choose to have one of my skirts for free. You can have any design or size that are still available in my Etsy shop. I will ship it to you for free too, wherever you are in the world.
Please one comment per person. Kindly write your name and email address as well (without the @ symbol to avoid spam to your inbox)

Happy spring, everyone.

I absolutely love daisies. I remember as a child, daisies were the one flower I could draw... and now they're my favorite flowers to receive as well. My husband even planted daisies outside in my backyard. Thank you so much! Beautiful photos, by the way.

De Hortensia vind ik het allermooist. De zachte pastel klueren de de grote bloem, die uit allemaal kleine bloempjes bestaat. Ze doen me denken aan de warme zomer en mijn bruisboeket.
Liefs, Monique

Two weekends ago I went to a botanical garden and got weak in the knees seeing the carpets of tulips and other bulbs in bloom. For myself -- I like growing lavender and rosemary outside my kitchen window.

Hi Thonbai! There is something about the ruffle-y nature of the peony that I love. I would have to say it is my favorite.

Hi!
I love peonies. There is something almost emotional about them...the whirling of the petals on a thin and delicate stem. It also take the peony years to re-establish after being moved, but once it has done so - it blooms for years...it just needs a bit of trust ;-)
Thank you,
Diana

My favorite plant is a tomato plant. The smell of tomatoes on a warm day brings back memories of a place I use to live when I was young. Then the plants towered over my head and it was like we had a magical jungle garden in the backyard.

I am not interested in flowers unless I associate them with something that has a special meaning to me.
For example I like the Lycoris Radiata because it makes me think of the eerie atmosphere in the afterlife the way it is portrayed in Jigoku Shoujo.

There's an herb/flower called honesty (lunaria annua) that used to grow where I grew up in Virginia... Here in California I've looked everywhere for its distinctive purple blossoms and silver dollar seed pods. I've yet to find them, but every spring I find myself looking.
I lOVE tulips!! Thank you
