Hi all, do you have a favourite flower or plant?
Apologies if this is too close to questions already asked, but interested to know of others favourites in particular from other countries.
I come from outback South Aus, and our flower is the Sturt Desert Pea which I remember seeing for the first time as a teen and thought it looked sooo unique as a flower in real life.

I also loveeeee the idea of glow in the dark plants, I've never seen one before but there are these mushrooms that apparently do just that!

I think hydrangeas are up there on my favorite flowers list! We have a ton at my house - they are easy to care for and just so pretty when they bloom!
I'll also add that I love these trees at a local store - I've never done the work to figure out what exactly they are, but they're just so fun when they bloom in the spring!
Another fascinating thing to me about hydrangeas is that they can change color based on the soil pH! When we moved into our home, we had a few different colors around the property.
We recently re-did our back garden as it had suffered a lot from the weather and some nasty bugs. In the hydrangea theme, we have a variety called the Pinky Winky
It does indeed shift colour throughout the season if I am well informed (it is the first year we will be able to witness that). Apart from being a lovely plant, they are in our garden because our daughter is called Winke - it is more or less her personal brand plant 🥁
I moved to Australia from the UK many, many years ago, and the one plant that always fascinates me is the Gymea Lily. It's such an odd looking thing, usually completely different from everything around it, which always struck a chord with me.
Star Jasmine is one of my favorites because of the scent. This isn't our plant, but it is a lovely example.
I love having flowers on my window sills. I used to prefer evergreens, but lately, I’ve fallen for orchids.
I don't have a favorite plant. My wife does, we have a lot of paintings and pictures around the house of these, and we try to plant some each year, and have random success.
I have not grown below plant....but I like flower alot. Name is krishna kamal in India also called as Passion Flower. It comes in white, pink, blue and purple colour.
