I love all flowers, but like Sparkling, especially love the Daffodils in the Spring.

It's a draw!! :-D.....skinchies ;-)

Only split seconds between us Mau ! :-D

SNAP Jo :-)

Beware the lovely Lily if you have a cat, the pollen is toxic to felines. :-(

I love all flowers but have to say Roses are my favourite.

Just to say all you feline lovers that Lilies are dangerous to cats!! :-(

Thanks, Sue. Mind you, it does have some advatages, as you can imagine!

I love the cottage garden flowers, sweet peas, williams, lupins , honeysuckly etc., but not much good for sending by post .! I dont like flowers that have no perfume, but look lovely like some of the roses they now have in stores.

Geordie, hope you have a good memory!! sorry to hear that you have lost your sense of smell.

Freesias, hyacinths & mimosa, all for the perfume.
I love flowers & always said that if I ever won the lottery books & flowers would be my two extravagences.

For flowers indoors I too love freesias. But I also love daffodils and narcisuss (sp) in the spring, they too have a special perfume. But if anyone is sending me flowers, I love any Lol!!!! :-D

You should know my Favourets Rose, Roses, and David Austin Will deliver Flowers to the door.**M**. :-D

You are all making me jealous! I used to love the scent of freesias and other flowers, but I lost my sense of smell a couple of years ago, so have to rely on memory. Saves a fortune on perfume, though! :-(

They are wonderful memories Det, although my Mum didn't like flowers very much, as she said that when she was little, in the 20's, my Nan would buy flowers instead of food, which was so she could buy food, but Mum said when you're little and hungry, she didn't see it that way.

aivlyS, can you believe that as i read your post about roses, I can actually smell them, how weird is that :-D

Re lilies, once they open I always cut the middle bit out, so none of the staining :-D

Dont try to brush off the pollen first Detective or it will not lift off with the cellotape. If you get it on your clothes whats the chance you cant get your hands on a roll of cellotape lol.

Thank for the tip - we had to downgrade a sweatshirt from 'smartish' to 'getting grubby in' a few years ago!

Mind you, they do have a wonderful scent.

Lol It certainly does stain, DIL got some on her top this weekend. I think cellotape brings off the pollen on clothes.

And it stains! :-0

Freesias are my favourite to. I had them for my mum and mil. to wear when we got married. I love the smell of them. I do like most flowers, Lillies are lovely to look at but I cant have them in the house because the pollen affects me.

Lynda . .. I send to Jersey plants for the old fashioned scented roses they still breed them .

Lilies have a wonderful smell :-D

sweet williams also, but my absolute favourite scent is lilacs, very brief flowering period but when we had them I always brought a bunch indoors :-)
