A Rose is a Rose, is a Lily?
  |
I found this list of flowers and since we're all dying for spring to arrive, I thought it might be fun to see what our favorites represent.
ROSE - Love
ORCHID - A Belle
IRIS - "My compliments"
CALLA LILY - Beauty of the Night
SUNFLOWER - Pure Thoughts
AMARYLLIS - Splendid Beauty
TULIP - Declaration of Love
CARNATION - Pride and Beauty
HYDRANGEA - Heartfelt
BIRD OF PARADISE - Joyfulness
CHRYSTHANEMUM - Fidelity
DAFFODIL - Chivalry
TIGER LILY - "I dare you to love me!"
ANTHURIUM - Hospitality
PEONY - Bashful
LILAC - Youthful Innocence
GERBERA DAISY - Good Cheer
ANEMONE - Anticipation
ASTER - Patience
STARGAZER LILY - Honor
I love orchids but I've never been successful with them. My stargazers keep coming back year after year so I have to give them an "A" for effort; lilac is beautiful but our winters aren't normally cold enough for them to thrive; gerberas come in a plethora of colors; but I think for sheer beauty I would have to choose the exotic Bird of Paradise as my favorite. They remind me of paradise as found in Hawai'i where they grow everywhere in the wild.
Which is your favorite and why?

My favorite flowers are sunflowers and tulips. I find them very beautiful. My husband gave me a lovely sunflower before we got married but I've never received tulips before.
Happy Hearts Day Gracie!

This is a tough one for me. I love Calla Lillies, Tulips, Hydrangeas, Gerbera Daisies and Sunflowers but not necessarily in that order. I think there is something sweet in the simplistic beauty of a daisy and the elegance of a Calla Lilly. It would be hard to pick just one favorite.
I love Tulips and Poinsettas, but Poinsettas are not on youir list. Must mean lost love....
I also love the Magnolia flowers.
my favorite are lilac and gardenias. I love the smell, that it lingers and will follow you around the room. :)
