Strelitzia reginae, the bird of paradise.
It’s used as a drought-tolerant ornamental here in California.
EDIT: If I get a second choice, Albizia julibrissin, the pink silk tree.
Mimosa tree blooms smell so good
Hibiscus :3
I really like cornflowers, its that colour. I remember sketching one for art class at school.
Yes!!! It’s so vibrant yet so frail.
Lilac. Growing up we had out-of-control, seven-foot-high lilac hedges border two sides of the backyard. Smelling a lilac in bloom brings me right back to the secret forts I’d build beneath their branches.
Fuck yeah! Love that beautiful smell!
I have them growing on the southeast side of my house next to the living room windows. I also have a late spring blooming lilac right next to another window so I get some super lovely bursts of scent for several weeks. Glorious.
I do not at all regret planting those, and they do a great job shading the brick from the sun and keeping the house cooler.

I like lilies and elderflowers.

Dandelions.
They are awesome in so many ways!hibiscus. yummy.
Fritillaria imperialis is quite unique looking one that I really like. I’ve been trying to grow one on my yard but it didn’t flower at all last spring which was unfortunate.
Daphne mezereum is somewhat similar looking and is probably my favourite plant that grows natively where I live. Also very poisonous.
Sunflowers are my favorite flower. Pretty and edible seeds :P
what’s next, poppies?
Maybe I’m a basic bitch but you can’t go wrong with an orchid. Both cool-looking and interesting while simultaneously sprouting gorgeous flowers and come in such an abundance of different varieties.
Otherwise I have soft spot for pelargoniums simply because they’re so incredibly stupid easy to take care of. Especially in a year where I’ve had a lot of trouble with plants I can appreciate that they’re so reliable and not at all fussy.
Water lilies
Hate the smell though.
Hyacinths and dalias are my favorites but I also really enjoy tulips and poppys

I love all flowers but I’m fond of one in particular…
Lillies, orchids, and lilacs. Orchids are so weird, just can’t get over how alien they seem.
