Spring is springing - what is your favourite flower and your favourite wild flower. Why?

I would have liked to have started a spring photo thread but sadly it appears to be photos that make threads break (probably amongst other things).

I have lots of bluebell woods ones.

Maybe one day ...

Oh lovely, I'll look forward to your pic!

The previous tenants left a large patch of bluebells which have spread over my large oval bed. I'll put a pic here when they're in bloom. If you buy a few 'in the green' they soon spread.

It might be nice to present her with a pot of living mini daffodils [tete a tete] each Spring.

Lovely idea, Marianne72 

We ought to have a blossom celebration like the Japanese 'Sakura' season. It might put people in a better mood! It would certainly be something to look forward to - a good excuse for a picnic and treats . 

I love most flowers, I love Iris's, fuchsia's and the moths, hydrangea, hollyhocks, I could go on and on, it might be easier for me to say what I don't like, ranunculus, I don't know why, but they freak me out, as do begonias and busy lizzies. There are lots of flowers that I can't be around like dhalias and chrysanths because they give me such terrible hayfever. I'm not a fan of lilies either.

I like blossom especially the white and pink! 

Yes, from yellow and blue through the bright colours to the golds and coppers. I'm trying to make my front into a prairie garden - with mixed success - the combination of waving grasses and bright-flowered perennials is very cheerful.

I have a bluebell wood close to my house.

It’s so wonderful to walk into the woods when it’s been warm and have the bluebell fragrance in the air, it’s so beautiful.

I know I’m very lucky.

I couldn’t have described it better myself.

It is truly magical.

I love violets, and I am so lucky that they grow wild in the gravel against the front and back walls of my house. Later in the year, I love rudbeckia (memory of seeing them in the wild in the prairies) and dahlias (so varied!). But most of all it's the progression of colour and form, from now to autumn, which fills me with wonder.

I've been liking seeing daffodils recently. There seems to be loads this year around where I live. My sister's favourite colour is yellow so they make me think of her!

For both, bluebells, especially if you are lucky to have bluebell wood near you. (Not near one currently though). The contrast of the bluebells the greens and the browns of the tree trunks. Magic is real in a bluebell wood.
