Damn, like you had a mouth full of the hottest chili peppers imaginable
It's pretty incredible how plants have evolved to deal with the world around them, and cacti and orchids are probably my 2 favorite examples of extreme survivors.

I can't help but be reminded of a favorite movie...

I love that movie

I love flowers that sustain pollinators. These little guys work so hard for the benefit of every living creature. My Bee/Butterfly garden came in great this year. Mostly wild flowers and a few specific seed mixes for local and migrating species. The beds are a riot of color and laid out randomly.

Now that the evenings are cooler my house is getting the open window treatment. Everything smells amazing.

I need at add another been to my inkiness. I want a bumble bee next.

Flowers in general , though i do love roses , orchids , and cherry blossoms in particular . Love spring time , landscape awash with color , leaves on the trees and ,from a male point of view , add the women , out and about in their spring outfits . There is a feeling about spring , that makes me glad i'm still breathing .

It's a classic. So very quotable.

Oh, thank you! Now I can research bats in my area. And bat houses are so on my craft list.

D) All of the above.

I hope this is becoming a flower-porn thread.

Oh yeah, water lilies are fantastic.

I am with @EllieP on this," D) All of the above". I like all flowers for their beauty and color. At present I am into orchids and other tropical plants for indoor and begonias for outside I have too much shade for anything else to grow properly outside.

I thought you might enjoy that... I watched a documentary about plants of the desert and saw how bats are a key pollinator. It fascinated me.

Here they come out in the evening as the sun is setting.

And since I can't embed pics I figured I'd share a video from the lovely Dani. I love her videos and I find her voice particularly soothing as well.

Laurel doesn't do well in my area. I would love to have a few plants around the garden.

Lillacs are my favorite, they smell soo nice when they first bloom. They are also the state flower here in NH.
Thought this was an easy test to see if I can post pics
