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).

Shawn : what can i say : wow !

Casey : nice morning glory. what time does it open /bloom ? i thot morning glory blooms only when the sun is up which means you get to leave for office quite late ? heheh. i leave the house by about 7a.m. so can`t see any flowers opening yet.

Re: Favorite flower in your garden
 

They bloom very early... Im not sure what time start. But, at 6am++, I can see opened glorry, and they close at 11pm++. For those interested with it. You can lets me know. I can spare it for you. Cheers...

Casey,
Nice morning glory,
Mine grows like weed and they at least 35 to 40 flowers a day.
The flower opens at about 8 a.m.

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.

Re: Favorite flower in your garden
 

Shawn, you have a lots of nice orchids there... How long you keep yours Grammatophyllum speciosum?

Re: Favorite flower in your garden
 

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!

Re: Favorite flower in your garden
 

thx hongrui......a whole field / bunch of sunflowers is one of my dreams too. the closest i got to it : planted 30 sunflowers seeds hoping that ALL will germinate. Alas, only 7 plants chose to live. From that, they grew at different speeds & had different heights & flowered at different intervals. And after 3 months of care, the fully opened flowers only lasted 3 or 4 days. Where got fair like that man ? I think sunflowers do better in temperate climate. Once the sunflowers get `bashed` by raindrops, that`s it. Finito.

Perhaps I`ll try again to realise the `dream`. anyone got lovely sunflowers to show ?

Re: Favorite flower in your garden
 

I have it long time ago. I successfully grow 3 plant of them. Now, no more. :crying:

Last week, I just got some sunflower seeds from forumer. Not sure how flower will looks like... Lets grow it and see...

Here is the photo.

Re: Favorite flower in your garden
 

thx Casey.....lovely sunflower. sunflowers come in an amazing variety rite ? different flower size, diff plant heights, diff looks ( slightly diff lah ), and even diff colours like orange i think.

let`s see if i can get a huge pot then plant it with some sunflowers.

Re: Favorite flower in your garden
 

I HAD lots of sunflowers. Everytime I grow them CATERPILLARS come. My dad asked my maid to burn them.
