3. Right now, I'm really into Morning Glories.
I grew them from seeds last spring.

They've finished blooming now and are producing more
SEEDS!

Funny how that works... Huh?

6. I do love orchids. We had a plant, but they are kind of hard
to keep alive. At least for me they were.

Edited on Fri Sep-23-05 09:24 AM by Shell Beau
his company had a nursery. He got discounts on all the things in the nursery. But even then, he had a hard time keeping it alive. I don't think I helped much.

Every spring you see them in everyone's yard and in fields.

20. Me too! When I got married, I told my florist
(who is very renowned and a good friend) that I wanted tons of tulips. I got off so lucky b/c he just charged me for the cost of the flowers and not his labor. I'll have to post some pics one day of my flowers b/c they were unreal!

25. I used to use "sweetpea" as a term of endearment for my S.O...
One night she got extremely angry with me for
calling her that... She, "Didn't like peas and
could see no reason to be compared with them."

So, I stopped. I was a little broken hearted about
the whole thing.

I guess she'd never seen the flower I was referring
to.

Thanks for the sweetpeas LaraMN.

32. Awwww...
They're a very sweet little flower with curly green tendrils and fluttery petals. She should've been flattered. Sorry she hurt your feelings.:-(

26. gosh, I LOVE all flowers
Edited on Fri Sep-23-05 09:34 AM by wildhorses
but I guess my favorite is a yellow rose
they just seem so friendly even with the thorns.
I also like Iris and the oldtimey cannalily
Searoses are nice too
Have you ever seen a gooseneck? It is white and blooms in the shape of a goose's neck, hence it's name.
What about an eggplant, not the food but, there is a plant that blooms an egg. I swear it. Inside it are the seeds. It is way cool especially at Easter.
