Talking to my family and friends I found that each of them had a flower they really liked and then there were also flowers they did not like. - My brother in law is a gardener and hates roses. One of my friends does not like the lily of the valley because it was a flower used for the funeral of her little brother and the smell made her think about this all the time. Another friend loves roses which are white they make her feel special.- What is your choice?

Since I know I loved flowers to love, fascinates me, delight me, make me an inexplicable feeling good, having fun. If every day I'd be surrounded only by flowers, I must admit that I am the happiest woman in the world, I would not need anything and anyone and more so to me that I disturb the well-one gives them. Besides the fact that I particularly like my roses, I can not think of those flowers that open at nightfall and that often come with competing luxury perfumes. As queen of the night talking or even a flower is the month and the same flower, fully deserves its name, many flowers are star-shaped white, pink, purple or cream, the white flowers are most fragrant of all. If we speak and also other flowers in a way I like it very light and love lilies which are very sensitive. The white ipomoea, a species of morning glory with white blooms only at nightfall and remain open only until the first rays of the sun. I just felt the need to talk about flowers is that they matter the situation, give people a way of life smiling. A flower given to him with love, do much in the heart of a man no matter how simple life would be such a gesture. Loving flowers, we love more than ourselves ...

I really love the daisies. The white petals and yellow centered ones especially.They remind me of rolling meadows where they would grow and crisp smelling air and purity.It seems that when i see them they calm my nerves and make me think of the good life and the blessings that i have.When i am down or depressed i go out and buy myself flowers and place them in my living room and just sit and appreciate its beauty.I do not dislike any flower though as your brother despises roses. I think he does not like it because of the thorns and he is a gardener and he deals with the thorns when he takes care of them.If its just from the buyers point of view thorns are already removed so there is no inconvenience already on the buyers end.All flowers are beautiful to me, if i could grow them myself i would but since my place is not enough i would have to be content with the short lived beauty of the cut flowers instead.What i wish i could do is visit a flower farm and immerse my senses on those huge tracts of flowers so when i die i can imagine my heaven to be like those flower fields.

Hey joyaracia, thanks for your comment. I never knew that zodiac signs have specific flowers! Too bad you didn't give any examples?--

I like white tulips. They are so expensive looking and is expensive indeed as it was being sold at a florist shop last Valentine's Day. I don't receive one though, but i love looking and caressing it with my fingers. i did that, when i passed by a florist shop last valentine's Day. But i didn't buy a flower to give myself ha?

My daughter loves roses and since she was little she wanted to have a black rose.- - I later found that of course there are very very dark red roses but no black ones. She also at every occasion hopes that someone will find this special rose for her.- If it was me I would also want the white Tulip it is a very elegant and humble flower I think.

"There is no accounting for tastes."Just as people have their own favorite colour ,the same for flower.I think this has something to do with people's experience,knowledge as well as the popular legend about flower.I like orchid because here it is likened to a man of noble.

You are so right, I never thought that the choice of a favorite flower could come from knowledge or legends but you are right that is true.- There is also a meaning to every flower- but I guess that differs from country to country. Where I come from a yellow rose for example is a sign for jealousy, a red rose a sign for love.- There was a time when the symbolism of flowers was used more than today. - But I also think that the flowers we love are also an expression of our personality and character as well as an expression of the heart.-

I love lots of flowers, I think I don't have a favorite, I love flowers in general, but I prefer tropical flowers, flowers with a special charm. They remind me of beach, gorgeous places I've visited and places where I wish to be now. In my neighborhood there are also many gorgeous flowers on the sides of the streets and I love go to walk in the afternoon when there is a warm weather or after a rain, I can feel the fragance of flowers much more.

I love different kinds of flowers. I like the roses except of course the thorns [em]wub[/em. Then there's the anthurium because it doesn't wilt fast. Then also mums, chrysanthemums, sunflower and even the wild ones a smaller version that grows everywhere in open fields. Then I like the gladiolas and some varieties of orchids and those that do not smell "bad" because sometimes I am allergic to the strong fragrance of the flowers. Anyway, flowers add beauty and lightens up every room or even a person.

I like lots of flowers especially the colorful ones. Recently, I bought couple primroses, the flower keeps blooming and the color is very bright, I like it very much. I'm waiting for the tulips to come in the spring soon.

My father is a farmer, and my brother a florist - so I understand why your brother-in-law doesn't like roses. They're so thorny! (Especially the yellow kind, which is kinda sad, because I love yellow roses!) I like all flowers, although, I'm not so fond of the strongly scented ones like jasmine, rosal and magnolia. Stargazers and other liliums are strongly scented, too, but they're so pretty, so they're one of my favorites. Other favorites - carnations, tulips and gerberas.
