My favourite plant. What's yours?

My favourite plant is a wind turbine…
:cool:

I like wind turbines too.

On the same theme, my favourite plant is one of those huge earth moving machines. Can’t remember what they are called. They have wheels with tyres bigger than tall men.:lol:

Maybe just earth moving machines?

And I apologise for the plant plant…

I love Violets,modest understated and a sign of spring…:cool:

Do you mean the house plants, the African Violets, Meg or the little wild violets that spring up all in my flowerbeds and pots? :slight_smile:

Weigela because they are so beautiful but also very much loved by bees https://www.over50sforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=13274&stc=1&d=1595203797

I love the spicy scent of lupins and the floral dainty perfume of sweet peas.
Lavender is another I adore.

This is my little rose in full bloom,I counted 48 flowers in this cluster, it’s over now sadly.

Grass. An amazing plant that has a number of different uses. We can play sports on grass, use it for recreational purposes, use it to cover large areas of ground where planting or hard surfacing is not ideal. We can neglect watering during drought and it will revive once the rain comes. It provides a cool space during hot periods. Safe for children. Looks good all year providing you know what you’re doing, unlike most other plants.

Second picture.

What a neat & tidy garden. Mine is a jungle.:lol:

You’ve got your own planetarium, super.

Next time I’m on the way to Cornwall I’ll pop in and sort it out for you!

Not quite. That’s the home of the Big Blue!

I have a gardener, but he is very unreliable.:slight_smile:

How often does he visit?

My Buddleia & still no butterflies.
