Come on, who doesnt like flowers? They look nice, they smell nice, they mean different things ranging from love to friendship. Only bad thing about them is that they attract bees.


Anyway, just a few questions I have in my infamous format:

1)Flowers! Like em or not and why?

2)Do you have a garden? If so, any flowers?

3)Last flower you got from a person?

4)Any particular favorite? (Rose, Jasminse, Petunia?)

5)Anything else flowery your heart feels like adding.











I am SO bored.

Oh my god this is my dream thread

1)Flowers! Like em or not and why?

I LOOOOVE FLOWERS. I love any plants, honestly. I just love to see them grow, even if it is a slow process. They're very beautiful, even the weeds.

2)Do you have a garden? If so, any flowers?

But of course I have a garden! I am currently growing Zinnia flowers, tomatoes, green/yellow bell peppers, and I think I'm going to grow cucumbers soon!

3)Last flower you got from a person?

I don't remember what they were called, but they were white and purple. I got them for my birthday; they didn't last long because they were bought from Walmart lol

4)Any particular favorite? (Rose, Jasminse, Petunia?)

I personally ADORE Forget-Me-Nots, which are a very pretty blue flower. I tried to grow some from seeds, but when I transferred them from one pot into another, they pretty much went into panic and died. I was so sad!

5)Anything else flowery your heart feels like adding.

All the tomato plants and zinnia flowers from my garden were grown straight from seeds. I have a passion for plants, and I love them far more than people.

Here are some of my clipped flowers:

I hate flowers. I think they stink and they cause me some allergies, plus I don't really like how they look. >.> Guys tend to get me flowers for valentines day and all that even when i explicitly tell them not to......

Love them. <3
They're just so cute and pretty!

2)Do you have a garden? If so, any flowers?
No, but I so want one. With sunflowers, gardenias, Lilly of the Valley, dahlias, etc etc. <3

3)Last flower you got from a person?
Uh...nothing. :'D

4)Any particular favorite? (Rose, Jasminse, Petunia?)
Sunflower, gardenia, Lily of the Valley

5)Anything else flowery your heart feels like adding.
They're just so awesome. The aroma, each of their individual meanings, the little smile they bring to those who receive them/see them. They're just so awesome. <3

1)Flowers! Like em or not and why?
- I LIKE THEM. <3 I really find them beautiful, and they simply add color to our world. :3

2)Do you have a garden? If so, any flowers?
- As of now, none; although my mom does have a few plants, I don't consider them as my own because I'm not the one who took care of them. If and when I do get my own garden, I'd like to fill them with as much flowers I can.

3)Last flower you got from a person?
- I believe I never got a flower yet.

4)Any particular favorite? (Rose, Jasmine, Petunia?)
- Let's see... Cherry Blossoms, Dahlia are some (though I don't think I'd be able to get/grow those here). I forgot the others. ^^'

5)Anything else flowery your heart feels like adding.
- I've always liked flowers for their beauty and everything else; as what the person above said, they're awesome. ^^

I don't think I've ever received flowers from anyone and I haven't given them to anyone except my grandma once or twice.

I like the look of blue and purple flowers: lavender, wisteria, and cornflowers. At a distance though because I'm allergic. Really, anything colorful is nice.

1] Not really; I like small flowers that cover trees in spring, but I am anthophobic, to some larger genera.

2] The only thing kept for its flowers is an ornamental pear tree which, unfortunately, does not bear fruit. Not that I like pears, but I'd be pragmatic about gardens if it were left to me.

3] N/A

4] Sakura; hawthorn.

5] I don't like how they smell.

1) I like to look at flowers, but can't really stand the smell of many of them - especially in flower shops when there's such a variety of smells all meshed together.
2) I live on the third floor of a house, so no garden for me! That's a good thing, though. I couldn't stand to actually tend to a garden.
3) I don't think anyone's ever got me flowers... should I be worried that no one loves me? :(
4) Bluebells are definitely my favourite. Blue is my favourite colour and I really like the shape of the flower in question. They just look so elegant and flowery all at the same time!
5) I like flowers, but hate flower shops because of the aforementioned smell-issues that I have with large groups of them. But having them in a house really brightens the place up.

1. I like them but also don't. They're pretty to look at and I have some in my room, but I'm just very bad at remembering to water them.

2. Well... we do have a garden in front of the house, but I honestly don't know what flowers we have since I never really pay attention to it. XD;

3. A few cacti from my dad for my birthday. YAY LESS WATERING

4. Nope; I like all flowers, especially if they're really bright-colored.

5. I have a bad habit of forgetting to water the flowers in my room... had to move my yellow daisies over to the balcony since mom has her own things to water there so she'd do it for mine, too. Now I'm forgetting to water the other plant I have lol. This has reminded me to go do it. >:

I like flowers, they're very pretty! Being a guy though, I don't think I've ever been given a flower except for this one time that a little two year old girl was playing in the garden at one of my family gatherings and came around and gave a flower she had picked to everyone at the party :P

We have quite a large garden, but since my mother is known as The Killer of Flowers, we never have many flowers there. Plenty of plants, but no matter how hard she tries the flowers always die :P

I think my favourite kind of flower would be the tibouchina, because they grow on these huge trees instead of smaller plants and they're so vividly purple and beautiful.

Spoiler:



My other favourite type of flower (and I'm not sure this even counts as a flower) would be what we call Christmas Bush here in Australia. It sprouts on a lot of trees in December where I live and it always makes it feel like Christmas.

It looks like this on the tree itself:

and then we cut it off and put it in vases for centrepieces kind of like this:

1)Flowers! Like em or not and why?
Yeah they're nice and I don't have allergies so I can enjoy them ayaya.

2)Do you have a garden? If so, any flowers?
My dad likes to plant flowers in the front of the house if you want to count that.

3)Last flower you got from a person?
Ummmm no idea.

4)Any particular favorite? (Rose, Jasminse, Petunia?)
Lilac and tulips.

5)Anything else flowery your heart feels like adding.
I like flower scents and some floral patterns. And I've never had a huge problem with bees just because they're some flowers around.. wtf?

I really like the idea of flowers and I like seeing them and admiring them but I don't think I could ever deal with a garden. I don't like the smell of flowers and I don't like having to take care of them and I'd feel kind of bad when they would inevitably die only weeks later (assuming they even lasted that long). My mom is adamant that we put a small garden outside the townhouse I live in, though. I think she mostly wants to put in hosta (which are okay but so boring x_X) and I guess if I have to have plants out there, I might as well look for flowers too.

I don't like bouquets of flowers or anything, though. They die so quickly and they seem like such a pointless gift. :( I'd really rather get a potted plant than clipped flowers. I think the last time I received flowers was from my mom a few years ago. Brought some daffodils up to wherever I was living at the time and I had nowhere to put them so it kind of sucked. Before that, I think my dad got me a bouquet of roses (or like, 3?) when I graduated high school. That's probably it for my entire lifetime thus far. :P

My favourite flowers are probably fire lilies, amaryllis, (or just lilies in general, I suppose) and hybrid tea roses. They're kind of cliche but they're pretty. The latter are likely my top favourite because they can be bred into so many different colours and colour combinations. This sort of thing fascinates me but I'd never do it myself because I don't live in the most forgiving climate and more importantly, I don't care enough. XD

I like flowers in general, because it's something no guy has ever really thought to give me. I always seem like the type of girl who would hate flowers so guys don't give them to me, so instead of being trite and overused as an expression it's actually unique and sweet. XD I like daisies the best. They're so cute. :3

1)Flowers! Like em or not and why?
I think they look really pretty but I'm allergic to pollen and would probably be the worst at taking care of them xD. I do like 'em enough so that my trainer character Lisa constantly wears dresses with flowers printed on them :P

2)Do you have a garden? If so, any flowers?
Nope, if I tried keeping a garden it wouldn't last long.

3)Last flower you got from a person?
People know my allergies well, so I don't think I've ever gotten a flower from someone else. Not a real one, anyway :P

4)Any particular favorite? (Rose, Jasminse, Petunia?)
Not really any favorites; just ones that look pretty xD

5)Anything else flowery your heart feels like adding.
Not really, actually.
