we had this poll before, but, still too many to list! top ones that come immediately to mind include hydrangeas, marigolds, morning glories, johnny jump ups, crocuses, peonies, queen anne’s lace, tiger lilies…big fluffy baby pink roses…forsythia…it’s all wonderful.
I have a gardenia bush that has thankfully survived the Texas freeze of 2021. It was started from a cutting that my Dad got from the gardenia that was underneath my grandma’s kitchen window. She didn’t have AC in her house so when the windows were open in the summer, you could smell that gardenia all over the house.
Moonflowers smell absolutely amazing. Not the prettiest flower but they are huge and fragrant. We grow them around our house and just stepping out the door in the summer you smell them. It’s rad. They come back every year and are super easy to care for.
@Star2236 Yeah, I love the fragrant ones too. I have a daphne bush that’s heavenly, and in a few weeks my honeysuckle vine should start blooming. I have a mock orange that’s intoxicating, too. Someday I want to have fragrant plants to bloom in constant succession from spring to fall!
Love iris!!!
I went to LSU and had to buy this when I found it on clearance at a local nursery. It needed to be subdivided and I got it for $4 for the gallon pot. Total score!
I’m a huge lover of succulents and cacti. This is truly one of my favorites!
Lily!!
Sunflower!
@Zeusandhera Same!
Calla lily
Wild Phlox.

I like the ya ya sisters, Magnolia and Camelia.
the little ones that come up super-early, even through light snow on the ground. I think they may be snow crocus.

St John’s Wort
Tulip.
Alstroemeria!
Poppy

Hibiscus are gorgeous
Hyacinth because they smell so good. Or most of them do. Kroger’s hyacinths don’t smell much at all anymore. Meijer’s still do.

They’re not currently in flower but these are pretty rad too!
@sillyheathen And so appropriate to today’s Mehrathon theme!
Lilacs. Forever and always, lilacs.

@Coldwyn they’re so pretty but they’re insanely invasive here in Oregon. I can’t get rid of them.
I’m trying to root some lilacs from my current house to move to my new house.

@mbersiam
That looks more like a magnolia tree than a lilac
@Star2236 I tried multiple times (and a different key phrase) to try to get lilacs and finally gave up.
One more try

@mbersiam @Star2236 Weird!

I love lilac, Lilly of the Vally, tuberose they all smell so good. Really anything that I can plant and grow in my garden brings me joy.
