I have a really hard time choosing.
Continuing on my flower theme from a few weeks ago…..I am curious. What is your most favorite flower?
If I have to choose, mine is Queen Anne’s Lace.
I have always loved this delicate wildflower.
When I glimpse the first one of the season, I immediately smile. They have arrived here in my neighborhood. I am smiling!
“Earth laughs in flowers.” A quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Flowers have power. Their beauty distracts. Their scents captivate. Their individuality amazes.
They are transient, however. Take precious moments to enjoy. Let them have power over you!
Now it’s your turn.
Please share your very favorite flower, the flower that brings a smile to your face!
Wishing you a happy June
and many happy flowers!

As for the flowers..if it’s purple, I am bound to love it!
Orchids & tulips. ..pansies… all ways the world is decorated…good feng shui from the Creator lol!
I love purple too! When I was a teenager my whole room was purple! Will send you your prize tomorrow!
So hard to choose…I would say orchids and lilys. xo
Nice! I have a soft spot for lillies too……
And DAISIES of course!
In the spring, I love flowers that come from bulbs–tulips and daffodils, especially. Peony is my favorite summer flower. My mom used to grow them in our backyard, so they have special meaning to me.
That is a nice memory and reason to like peonies, Lynne. They are my sister’s favorite too.
Queen Anne’s Lace seems too lovely and delicate, and with a fancy name, to be growing in the wild! My aunt used to take blooms and put them in water colored with food color and within a few hours the blossom would be colored too!
Oh gosh!! I remember doing that too! How fun.
Oh….and for curious minds, here is the origin of the name ….Queen Anne’s lace earned its common name from a legend that tells of Queen Anne of England (1665-1714) pricking her finger and a drop of blood landed on white lace she was sewing.
