    Ooh, I love hibiscus, orchids, roses, daffodils, as well as carnations, fuschia, morning glory, azaleas, sunflowers, bleeding heart, lilac.....

    I'll probably think of many more.

    Bougainvillea, Bird of Paradise, Wild Poppy's, and most anything else green.
    Our bougainvillea though is the thorny one ... gets ugly when trimming time comes along.

    I like all flowers, as long as they are colourful, roses are lovely, especially the ones without thorns. One plant I do like is lavender, a pretty blue colour, with a lovely smell.

    Corno that was just beautiful! It looked like a heavenly place.
    I happen to have enough plants in my bedroom I feel like I'm
    in a jungle somewhere.

    Dear CT64,

    Yes, there is a bird of paradise, heliconia, ginger, and protea in the picture.

    Cheers,

    I adore the bird of paradise plant, Corno. It's fascinating that the human species is so obsessed with de-gendering plants and then sticking their genitals in glass jars for eye bling. God help us that the plant world should ever start "tit for tat" ... LOL

    Dear CT64,

    Most kind sir - what about the de-gendering of the human race? That people can *Have It* both ways? I too, love dearly the *Bird Of Paradise* flower - such a perfect creation - and people will tell you that it just happened - came out of nothing - Oh the hubris!!!!!!!

    Humbly,

    *Socrates: "My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not opinion, and that you are in absolute error. Since this is my opinion, then according to your philosophy you must grant that it is true."
