I'm a rose girl! Nothing but lovely red roses for me.

Any color rose, really. I love how they all have different meanings. Yellow means friendship, red means love, etc. But red's my favorite color, so there you go!

I believe they are called starlight lilies. Those lilies that's white and has that pretty fuschia tint on the petals as well as a stamen(?) that's that pretty yellow green. I also like daises and those genetically altered rainbow roses. Sorry, I'm technologically ignorant about how to post pics and videos.

another lilac lover

I have always said if I ever had land I would plant a circle of lilacs, relax in a chair in the center and probably get high off the amazing, wonderful scent. Or asphyxiate. Good way to die though.

I agree with what has been said about the simple clean elegance of the calla lily - and they don't even have to be white!

They can be almost black!

And poppies and sunflowers are always bound to make you happy

Indian ghost pipe is one of the only plants that doesn't use photosynthesis (hence, is white with no chlorophyll) for nutrients, but instead decaying matter. Its so neat.

Also, these. Hepaticas are one of the first flowers to bloom here in spring. They're tiny and grow in clusters of purple or white all over the woods.

And these flowers, I dunno what they're called in English, but they have the most wonderful perfume.

Wisteria is one of my favorite parts of springtime. It's an invasive species here and can really take over, but the smell is beautiful.

Also, does anyone know the name of the plant in the two photos below? I took these at a friend's apartment in Tucson, Arizona, and have never seen plants like them anywhere else. The leaves look like mimosa leaves, but I've never seen a mimosa with this kind of flower.

Could be a Royal Poinciana. It's still a baby one though, they grow much, much taller.

Monotropa uniflora is NOT a saprophyte, like all its relatives it is a parasite that feeds on a mycorrhizal fungi.
