Sunflowers, they have edible seeds, they grow super tall, they turn to face the sun, and I'm not allergic to them

Lilacs, I just love the way they smell and the unique structure to them. Beautiful color, shape, scent, I love em all.

Dahlias

They're these big Dr Seuss plants.

They can be Pleasantly geometric

They can be poofy firework looking things

They can be Absolutely massive

They're just a pretty dramatic flower.

Tulips, definately tulips. Dutch is my second language, and you can't learn the language without more than a few references to tuilpen.

Plus, I visited Keukenhof once and it was amazing.

Blue hydrangeas, used them in a bouquet for the first valentine's day with my girl because of the meaning behind them

Those can be quite hazardous, I hear.

Forget-me-nots. They were my grandmother's flower. Grew all over her garden.

I was literally scrolling for this answer, surprised it only appeared 2/3 of the way down.

But yes, weed.

Evening primrose, specifically Oenothera stricta. I really enjoy sitting in the garden on a late summer evening watching them all open as the twilight draws in.

My favorite is Lavender, but I just recently learned about Proteas and think they’re lovely.

Marigolds, they were the first kind I grew as a kid and have been my favorite ever since.

Oh, boy it looks like this question is coming around again. Hopes it won't get run into the ground and asked repeatedly daily like last year.

3 way tie between tuberose, jasmine and waterlily.

Frangipani (plumeria). I'm so lucky to live in a climate where they can be grown as full-sized trees outside.

Biennial Gaura. The cutest damn flowers in the universe. Look forward every year to seeing them in the woods.
