me too - got some gorgeous ones from Tesco yesterday for ÂĢ3 for 10 stems ... they are fabulous
Rexi, I've got loads dotted about the house but they are all artificial - nothing like the real thing though 

That was a bargain you got there - might nip down to Tesco tomorrow and see if they've got some up here

bizarrely that collection of flowers contains most of the ones I don't like!

I love forget me nots...  

Miss S - I don't like daffodils either... I can just about tolerate the very very small rockery ones.

I like SOME tulips... Queen of the Night... and Raspberry Ripple are the two in my garden.

I am a sunflower girl... I love sunflowers & all the flowers from that family... daisies, Shasta Daisies, ...  I like flowers with the standard flower shape.. middle & petals!

like lilies.. but am about to dig my beautiful ones up and bin them... I just can't keep on top of the lily beetles any more...  I give up!

Love Lobelia.. Cape Daisies, ....

I suppose the fact that I have quite heavy clay soil.. and so all these flowers grow well could influence my preferences.

the first year I started gardening Ros, I didn't have a lot to spend on it... so I planted over a hundred sunflowers... lots of different varieties....    the big brother with eugene on it was on... when they were in the secret garden... my sunflowers were halfway up and it looked just like the secret garden.  they were fab when they all flowered.

I have grown my mum some perennial ones from seed two years ago... she has them up the fence that runs down the side of her garden.... they should be really really good this year...

this is them...HELIANTHUS MAXIMILIANI

How's Elwood, katty? Marble is still creaking along..
He's fine,still can't get at his overgrown claws,he's still climbing the bars of the cage though I have to give him a punt up sometimes to reach the upper level..bless.his little back legs sometimes go like he's on a bike as he tries to hoist himself up.Little booger won't go  the easy way up via the ladders.

My favourite flowers are carnations bluebells which always reminds me of Scotland (bluebell woods) and snowdrops, in my garden I have two wisterias one with gorgeous long blue flowers and the other with white flowers they have just started flowering,I agree Joe about pansies they are good value for money, I like pansies I always buy them and put them in pots hanging baskets
Marguerita
Ah yes Marguerita. Snowdrops.
I have one tiny little clump of snowdrops, which never seem to spread or expand, but I am always pleased to see them emerge. Year after year that little clump never fails to appear, and never fails to bring a smile to my face. They give me an optimistic feeling.
(These snowdrops are not mine)
