Peonies (I have soft pink and maroon in front of my house - love the smell), real roses (preferrably English cabbage like ones ) and hollyhocks (they remind me of my greatgrandmothers farm)
Bluebells. Fields of bluebells. I have a picture of myself sitting in the middle of a field of bluebells in Scotland. I wanted them in my wedding bouquet, but spring doesn’t quite make it to the Highlands by April. They also grow here in Maryland; one of these days I’ll sort my garden out and plant some.
Honeysuckle. Gods, how I love the smell of honeysuckle. Peonies are a close second, and I also love lilacs.
I have trouble choosing between irises and calla lillies.
Peonies. Lilies-of-the-valley. Violets.
If a man ever sent me a nosegay of LotV & violets…well.

Cannibis Sativa
Actually, not a particular flower, but I love patches of a variety of wildflowers.
Gardenias - they are very pretty and they smell just wonderful.
Stargazer lilies are a very close second, and roses would be third.
Tiger lily
Visually, I’m very fond of coreopsis (tickseed.) You get lots of bright yellow flowers all summer long, unless the mildew gets 'em.
For aroma, I’d go with peony (my state flower, I think) or lilac.
Because we can’t encourage lawbreaking here, there’s another flower I can’t mention.
Here’s what grows prolifically on my side fence… passionvine flowers. Truly amazing.
Wisteria
Orchids. Any shape, size, or color (exept brown of course!). They are so serene and gorgeous!
A close second is the Stargazer Lily. They make me think of an explosion of color!
Hell no you aren’t. I think roses are beautiful, but I specifically chose roses without much scent at all for my wedding bouquet. I didn’t think it’d be a good thing to have a sickie bride.
My favourite flower scent is lilac. To look at, probably iris or alstromeria.
I’m fond of carnations, honeysuckle, and roses.
Calla lilies, peonies and hydrangeas.

I love tulips.
I used to lover Gerber Daisies. Then I found this love note from another girl that my (now) ex-bf sent him. Thanking him for all the Gerbers he ever sent her.
WTF?
He sent me flowers once on Valentines Day and they were faded purple CARNATIONS.
(Funeral Flowers-per Charlotte Sex & The City)
Poppies, hands down.
I like the possible opium connection. My mom grows awesome huge orange poppies. We jokingly swear every year we’re gonna slit the pods and get opium resin, but I honestly don’t think that’s possible with the ones you can grow at home. Oh, well.
Lilacs, lilacs, and more lilacs!
I’m also very partial to mums (chrysanthemums? can never spell it), I love the way they smell.
Me too, for just those reasons.
They also smell great and those little six stem bunches at Trader Joe’s are pretty cheap.
