Well, as you can imagine, I have a hard time picking "A" favorite! I'll have to put some other photos up on photobucket before posting more but here's one "weird" favorite that is already there. This is an ornamental pineapple flowering;

no fruit but makes about 50-100 plantlets from each flowering...anybody interested - I have a few hundred plantlets right now! The plants get fairly large (about 1-1.5 meters diameter and take a year or two to flower).

tarence: pretty daisies!

shawn: wow wow wow!

i don't have alot of plants that are grown for their flowers so i don't really have a favorite flower in my garden now. but i do dream of having a big mass of sunflowers flowering at the same time. i think that would be a sight to remember.

Hi Caseyhoo,

Hmmmm, that one must have been in my care for about 7 years now. It doesn't flower every year, nor at any particular time of year, just whenever it feels like it! By the way, it's growing in an old tire!
