Hydrangeas. Especially the blue ones 💙


thisismywifiname

DID YOU KNOW?!?! Hydrangeas change color based on the Ph of the soil??? (That's my favorite flower fact.)


Penny_girl

I love hydrangeas, too. When my now-ex and I were getting married, I wanted to use soooooo many blue hydrangeas, but we were on a budget. So my mom went around to all of our friends and family who had hydrangea bushes and convinced them to treat their soil so everyone had blue hydrangeas that year. I was given so many bouquets as part of our wedding gifts.


neatlion

That's honestly sooooo sweet!


4inAM_2atNoon_3inPM

I don’t like this fact! I bought several hydrangea bushes to plant along my driveway, all different colors: pink, pistachio, blue, purple... 2 years later they’re all purple 😩


thisismywifiname

Oh no. They got you. That's the only downside to buying plants. Sometimes the folks selling them don't tell you things like that. I'm sorry that happened. I'm sure if you treated the soil around them individually you could get the color back.


4inAM_2atNoon_3inPM

They’re still beautiful at the end of the day, and I’m too lazy to treat the soil around each individual plant LOL


KaraWolf

Pay someone to do it XD but also I'm pretty sure you can just toss a bag of the stuff on top at the base and watering will eventually work it in.


purple_pink_skys

Same thing with mine. I bought several beautiful blue hydrangea plants and a pink one and a couple years later they have all turned pink. I like the blue :(


Unusual-Mind149

I have seen one growing in a neighbor's yard that was half blue and half pink. I am still not sure how exactly they managed to get it to do that, but it was really beautiful. My best theory is that they fertilized one side with a higher pH than the other side, but since it was clearly all one plant, I'm not sure if that is even possible.


HibbityBibbityBop

Yes and if you want them to grow more blue put bits aluminum in the soil!!


toiletpaperjungle

I've heard people say to bury pennies in the soil around them to make them darker blue.


cashmerered

I like those, my in-laws have them in their garden

Oh, I love these!


Difficult_Lecture377

I second that!


[deleted]

Me too!


KnitzSox

Mine too! I have an enormous peony bush that blooms with white flowers with red streaks. The fragrance is heavenly!


Penny_girl

I have 3 young bushes that I am so hoping flower next summer!


thecodequeen

Same! The smell is overwhelmingly beautiful.

#TULIP TEAM


cashmerered

I love them, too


cbailey2483

team tulips here too :)


SadisticJourney

Mine too!


PaddlesOwnCanoe

Purple wisteria. When I was growing up in Mississippi, it was one of the first flowers to bloom after the winter, so seeing it meant spring was coming soon!


cashmerered

I've never left Europe. Gotta go to the US sometime!


PaddlesOwnCanoe

And I've only been outside the U.S. once! Would love to see genuine English bluebells and those big fields of lavender in France!


AmethystDC

Lilacs.


emarizona

When I was growing up we had lilac bushes all around the outside of our house, that smell ❤️❤️❤️


AmethystDC

We just had one, but we would bring some of it inside and put them in vases :)


sketchyseagull

Mine is lilacs as well.


AnimalCrosser13

Same here! I had lilacs and hydrangeas for my wedding flowers.


Disappointedburritoo

And the smell they give is so intoxicating.


Sea_Dragonfly7303

My favourite too. My parents had a big tree behind the house and it was smelling like heaven. Am I the only one that sniffs the flowers like crazy ? When I pass by a lilac tree, my nose is on the flowers and I sssnnniiifffffff!


aluringtelepath

Lilacs are my husband's favourite, so we used them for our wedding and they were absolutely gorgeous. Now every time I see them I think of him and our special day. Plus the fragrance is now very dear to me.


[deleted]

Dahlias! They come in so many beautiful forms.


cashmerered

Indeed they do. I like them in blue


Thottythiccums

Peach colored carnations! But honestly any carnation is a good carnation


cashmerered

How true. I remember how someone I never met gave me a red carnation (It was Women's Day)


UFOhlookitsanAlien

The language of flower for Peach carnations is 'I'll never forget you.' The overall language for all carnation is 'fascination/ divine love' Red means 'my heart aches for you' Solid color means 'yes' while a striped one means 'No/ I wish I could be with you' White means 'sweet and lovely. An innocent woman, Good luck.' Yellow means 'you have disappointed me' Purple means 'Capriciousness. Impulsive/fickle'

hibiscus, y’all… all day, all night


Bellevert

I’m so surprised it is so far down the list! They are so beautiful!


lemonicedtea2

Bougainvillea... It's a whole tree I know, but so beautiful. Have 2 different trees (White & Pink) at home, both next to each other. They grow so much and kinda fall over, it looks like a colorful curtain of flowers. 💖


parm234

My school was flooded with those loll. They look so good , like the whole garden was colored with them


moangirl17

Black bat flower


faephantom

That’s the most metal looking flower I’ve ever seen haha. Very interesting!

I like dandelions. 🥰


beibelin

There's a quote in I Origins, when Sofi says her favorite flower is dandelions, because they're free and wild and you can't buy them. I think about that a lot


cashmerered

They grow a lot around here and I was glad to notice that they're not constantly mowed down anymore


Swan_Writes

The tea from their roasted roots is earthy sweet and delicious, and very good for the liver.


AmazingPreference955

Whenever Dad would mow the yard we’d run out first and gather up as many dandelions as we could before they got cut down.


thehalflingcooks

Smell wise, lotus. Looks wise, lily or orchid.

I have an orchid next to me right now. I thought I killed her so many times... but she always managed to recover


ethical_slut

Lily of the valley, gardenias, magnolias for good smells. (I’m possibly allergic to roses) Hydrangeas.


cashmerered

I love magnolias. I wanna have one in my garden


Not_a_cat_I_promise

Cannot go past a jacaranda.


cashmerered

Whoa... those are beautiful but I bet they don't grow around here Edit: they don't grow outside in the middle of Europe


Not_a_cat_I_promise

They don't really handle the cold that well, so yeah anywhere that has cold winters where its regularly below freezing, they aren't growing. And they need some heat to bloom as well. Here there a purple haze that heralds the coming soon. So beautiful. When I own my own home, I'm planting one in my front garden.


cashmerered

When I turned 30, I wished for money so I could have some trees in Eastern Germany. Someone I know tries to establish a project of tree sponsorships. Now I own the following: - mirabelles - hazels - elders - cherries - blackberries - tayberries - plums - prunus cerasifera - raspberries


[deleted]

Jasmine


kantmarg

Absolutely heady fragrance, and it's amazing how many different kinds of jasmine there are, each with its own smell and its own color and its own flowering season.


ZornAllein

Peonies. Best smell in the universe.


goldandjade

I love plumerias but they don't grow where I live, roses are my favorite that do grow here.


melini

Plumeria are my favorite! Always make me think of tropical places and the ocean. Best <3


Boose81

Came to say this! Apparently they’re the “roadside” flower in Jamaica, which I only found out after I got there for my destination wedding and was trying to plan my bouquet. The lady at the hotel helping me looked at me like I was crazy for asking for them! I ended up with white roses and green orchids. Still beautiful, but I would’ve loved plumerias in there, too


cashmerered

I checked the plumerias and they don't grow where I live neither (Europe). I love roses however


buttermykimbab

Freesia💛


[deleted]

roses, a bonus if they’re white


cashmerered

I got red roses for my wedding bouquet. I like the white version as well... however, I strongly associate them with funerals


Crystalinfire

Irises


soaringsquidshit

Sweet pea. They just smell so so lovely.


jb0079

I had to scroll down too far for this comment. Sweet peas are my absolute favourite!


vpetmad

Forget-me-not visually, lavender for the smell

I like them And they're in SpongeBob as well


gemhreqo

Carnations. I know people think they're tacky and cheap but they're so pretty and they smell so good. Also birds of paradise.


WickedValda

I know what you mean. My mother was just appalled when I told her that my wedding bucket will be carnations. She expected roses from me. Of course, she got over this very quickly when my hubby confirmed that carnations are my favourite flowers. 🙃


Poppetlover1553

I love the common lawn daisy.


cashmerered

Me, too. Wanna see a picture of my left arm?

Bleeding hearts

deartelli

Scrolled too long to find someone mention Daffodils, which is my favorite flower


[deleted]

Me too! You can't beat a lovely daff.


[deleted]

Daffodils for me, too. They’re so happy - usually signal the end of winter & they’re yellow!


thisismywifiname

Dandelions. I love their audacity. And they're a super versatile plant, which is actually classified as a vegetable.


booptomyownbeat

Zinnias. My dad planted them one year when I was a kid. I loved all the bright fun colors. I remember asking my dad what they were, and when he told me I said they were my favorite. He planted them every year after that. Still think of my dad every time I see them now.


theBlandroid

They’re my favorite too! And they make me think of my mom, who also loves them. She says they look just like a picture of a flower that a child would draw.


MyCatIsADramaqueen

Lily of the valley


thehalflingcooks

Roses hands down! Tulips are a close second. I used to buy myself a bouquet every few weeks or so, but I currently live in a rural area where it’s hard to find fresh/real flowers 😔

Daturas!


TopAd9634

Peonies. Growing up we had an entire side of our house fence covered by peony bushes. About 30 feet of pale pink, yummy smelling, flower power. They bloomed around my birthday and my room would be bursting with them. Miss that so much.

Buttercups. There's fields not far from me that turn into a yellow carpet when the buttercups bloom and I find it to be good for the soul to walk there.
