    Default Whats your favorite plant

    Just thought I'd ask what your favorite plant is in the garden.

    I have a couple of favorites. Grevilleas and my new interest Protea and Leucadendron.

    They are part of the proteaceae family Mrs HMS as are most of my favorite plants. I was just looking at a photo of a warratah flower that I wanted to load into the post but couldn't get it to copy. Absolutely beautiful.

    I can't tell you my favorite but I can sure tell you the ones that have torn me or spiked me.

    Fruit trees. They give you something in return. Always say if you are going to grow a tree make sure it is a fruit tree.

    I like Camellia's but also love Cape Chestnut trees. I love the smell of Osmanthus, but they're not the best looking plant Ive ever seen.

    Roses, my grandfather used to have over 100 of them in his garden, and had a go at breeding them too, along with entering them in the rose shows. Luckily I don't have many customers with them for me to get sick of them.

    My favourite trees would be Japanese Maples, Magnolias.

    I'm also a big fan of the frangipani, they produce those great coloured flowers and you don't have to do anything with them.
