favorite garden plants

What are your favorite plants in the garden and why?

I have a fetish for Daylilies as they are easy to grow and the variety of blooms is amazing. My next favorites would be Agapanthus and Rainlilies 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have it on good authority that Bob Brown is very fond of the fairies at the bottom of his garden 🙂

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Any plant I do not have to water to much.

 

I hate Agapanthus, they used to come up in the cracks of the concrete, hard to get rid of.

What a revolting, disgusting comment to make. Obviously intelligent comment is beyond reach.

Roses  ... easy to grow, dont need much water, tend to look after themselves most of the time

Geraniums, I lived in Darwin for 27 years and so missed being able to grow them

I have a lovely plant called Chenille Firetails.

 

It's flowers are soft like kitties tails.   It takes a lot of abuse and

I cut it back heavily every winter.  It's about 20 years old now

 

Not my pics - but about the same size plant

 

 

My MIL  hated it for some reason

Gardenias, love em.

 

Those firetails are amazingSmiley LOL never seen before

 

 

 

 

Gardinas and jasmin are both so beautiful for smell as well.I will live in hope my Agapanthus spreads seed lol
I guess its luck and weather in your area.Years ago I brought a walking iris and now I have them all over the place, pretty thing but lord it likes my yard it will grow everywhere if not weeded out every few months.very pretty flower but im a bit over its rampaging nature
