We all are in different zones, but I am curious as to what you all would say is the prettiest flower that you have grown? OK, I'll let ya all name 2. For me I love larkspur, and hollyhocks.

I have to say mine would be sweet peas and delphinium. To me they are beautiful! But you know I LOVE flowers!!!!!!

this is my first year for these and I actually have some growing, I have 3 pretty purple flowers on. I had some in a pot and they turned brown? Do you grow them in pots or ground, also do they need to be by a trellis or such?

I grow both in the ground. The sweet peas need to grow on something - I have them on a trellis. The delphinium should be staked when they bloom because the flower heads do get heavy and droop over if it gets windy or rains.

My passion flower is probably my prettiest. This was the first year it has bloomed for me. Planted a small rooting 3 years ago. I was quite excited! Can't wait for next year already! My cannas are pretty sweet, too!

Its hard to find plants I do not love, but poison ivy, shumac, weeds and probably others, but I will save anything pretty even though others consider a weed.Some consider marigolds weeds? Duh, its a flower. I can not grow enough, in fact this year I have a nice patch of borage from seed isn't that an herb, used for what? I grow for the pretty blue flowers. They are doing nicely!

I think weed is anything that grows where you don't want it. Placed somewhere else it could be a prized addition!!

When we have a rainy Spring here the wildflowers are absolutely beautiful. I get a kick out of seeing the same plants, that are sometimes a nuisance for us, for sale on gardening websites.

I had marigolds get out of control about 10 or 15 years ago in one of my beds. I haven't seen a sign of one since I cleaned them out. Last week, I noticed one coming up in the same bed. I was quite excited!

Was pulling some weeds around my mators today and saw a flower, don't know what it is there were 3 of them so I dug up and put in a flower patch. If I ever learn how to do photos I can show them. Its a small light pink with dark pink in middle, never saw them before?
