Discussion What's your favourite flower?

[Noct]

So, you could say that I'm a bit of a flower enthusiast, they're so pretty and I love drawing them or researching them. That made me wonder which flower is your favorite? I can begin- and I can't possibly limit myself to one so here are three lilies that I adore~ (｡uωu)♪

I also adore plants — flowers in particular! I put them in my art near constantly.

My long term favorite is definitely morning glories, not only because they are just a lovely colorful and simple little vining plant (vining flowers are so fun to draw and great for front porches, gardens, and more) but I love their symbolism as well.

However a more specialized favorite is Diphylleia flowers aka 'the skeleton flower' due to its very unique petal properties that render it perfectly transparent in the rain.

If I get to limit it to three (like you) my third would be hydrangeas because they are not only gorgeous but also have many interesting properties such as the color changes based on soil PH (in addition to species color differences) and are one of only a few flowers that actually absorb water directly through their petals. Thus if you have cuts of wilting hydrangeas in a vase you can rejuvenate them by resting them upside down in a bowl of water over night and they will look beautiful and fresh again in the morning.

It's may be the most basic version of the lilies but I can't help but adore how they always pop out in the garden

2) Lily of the valley

I find these lilies the cutest of them all! The little bell shape seems so delicate and they look simply so adorable. No wonder that they represent sweetness and purity.

3) Spider lily

Maybe it's quite ironic seeing as spider lilies are heavily associated with death but I just absolutely admire how they look in such huge groups! It's truly amazing and I honestly would love to be able to grow one in my room, the only thing stopping me is my cats possible death when they happen to munch on it..

The flowers of my oxalis triangularis. Theyre in the same family as the green shamrocks & grow like weeds but they hold a special place in my heart because my first time seeing them was at a botanical garden with my family & I just remember that day being so peaceful & quiet.
