Flowers

Sorry this is late, but it's been one of those crazy days in Rinda-land. So without further futzing around:

What is your favorite flower?

This is such a hard one for me--I love flowers and plants so much! I'm going to say roses--particularly the Mardi Gras floribunda. They're just gorgeous.

I have a serious problem. Orchidophilia.

I have so many of them that when it comes time for the weekly watering they now fill the tub. Twice.

I LOVEEEEE Orchids, especially the rare ones. But I do not discriminate against a lovely phalaeonopsis or dendrobium :D

Phalaenopsis is the one that everybody gets for about $20 at home depot (usually half-dead) and dendrobium is also widely available. Here are pics of typical ones:

Thank you. That's much better. That first volley fired way high. I like daylilies, but I can't be more specific than that. I also like a flower we have around here called Four O'Clocks, but mainly because their manner of replenishing themselves crosses me as design genius.

My mom has a very good relationship with daylilies. She makes them happy, and then every couple of years she goes out, digs them up, cuts them into several pieces with a shovel, replants them, and they go on their merry way again.

She has some really nice ones :D

Pardon the latin-it comes with orchid territory. I sometimes forget....

It's okay. Really I was just thinking about your boobs and not paying close attention. My bad.

I'm a lover of daylillies too, and irises. I have a huge yard, and it's full of different plants and flowers. As a matter of fact, I just spent $500 at the nursery today buying trees and shrubs. If I had unlimited funds, my back yard would look like the Garden of Eden.
