Those of us in the US are enjoying a three day weekend. I hope that means more sewing time for you all. In celebration of a new month our new colors of rose red and gold, I have this beautiful bundle of hand dyed fabric from Vicki Welsh. Just leave me a comment on this post with your favorite type of flower. I'll draw randomly on Monday for the fabric. Good luck to you all!
My favorite is violets. They signal beginning of summer.
ReplyDeleteThis year, my favorite flower is the zinnia. They are blooming profusely in my yard and bring such a big shot of bright color.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful colors! They remind me of the marigolds that are blooming in my garden right now. I love marigolds!
ReplyDeleteI love lilacs... not sure they are technically a flower though =)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower is the Iris, in all its various shades of purple. Rises come in second, but they don't work in my garden.
ReplyDeleteShasta Daisies and full blown deep pink roses -- we used those flowers when we held a rededication of our wedding vows and I still love looking at the flower photos all these years later (we celebrated 41 years this year). So happy that red is the color for September -- I have LOTS of red scraps.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower is the white easter lily.
ReplyDeleteGerber daisies are a favorite of mine. Sadly, they are also a favorite snack of the deer in my neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteI love daisies ... in all all forms and all colors ... but traditional white and yellow are the best!
ReplyDeleteClose runner ups are pansies in the spring and mums in the fall. Thanks ... :) Pat
My favorite flower is yellow roses.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite flowers are sweet peas. I have some growing on my balcony now, but unfortunately they never recovered from the storm damage (just an ordinary storm - no hurricanes here!) of a month or so ago, but the few there are smell beautiful! I'm glad you missed the worst of the hurricane.
ReplyDeletePerfect apple-y colors to get us in the mood for September!
ReplyDeletelovely colors! my favorite flower is probably tulips!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite garden flower is the peony.
ReplyDeleteRose red and gold remind me of the red and buff roses of Alpha Gamma Delta, my fraternity. #goAlphaGam!
Thanks for the giveaway -- but especially thanks for hosting RSC which has provided great quilty inspiration.
I love pink roses, pale or vibrant, florist or wild. Especially the old rose varieties.
ReplyDeleteRoses are my favorite flowers to grow and carnations are my favorite flowers to have in the house.
ReplyDeleteRoses have always been my favorite flower. My grandfather had an amazing rose garden, which I used to wander when I was young. My aunt (not my mom) inherited the rose gene, and taught me a lot about rose pruning and care. Wherever I have lived, I have planted roses in profusion - rose trees, miniatures, tea roses, floribundas, etc.
ReplyDeleteI have two. Is that fair!? Sunflowers and peonies. Love them both!!
ReplyDeleteI love purple coneflowers. So summery and free spirited.
ReplyDeleteMy fav is pansy. That is followed by old fashioned scented roses.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite summer flower is moss rose. I have them by my ramp every summer in all colors. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love dahlias!
ReplyDeleteRoses are always on the top of my list but there are so many more I love.
ReplyDeleteWe live in a super dry climate where it's tough to get things to grow. But that said, my petunias grow and flower like crazy giving great color to my xeriscaping!
ReplyDeletePeonies and lilacs! Lilacs mean summer is here and peonies were blooming on Memorial Day, a day of family get togethers.

ReplyDeleteThere are so many favorites that it is hard to pick just one! Guess it would have to be geraniums. Mine go "bananas" every summer. robinsheloratearthlinkdotnet
ReplyDeleteStargazer lily. I love the scent and when I want to splurge I buy a small bunch for myself and enjoy the look and scent of them in my living room for days!
ReplyDeleteCan't beat the dependability of a black eyed susan. Lindafdoyle@verizon.net
ReplyDeleteI really do like cacti and succulents. Also orchids. Robert, from northern Iowa.
ReplyDeleteI love my lilies the colors and the fragrant of them.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower is the orchid, love them all.
ReplyDeleteI love Dahlia's!
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult to choose only one. I think it would be the happy daffodils and next would be tulips.
ReplyDeleteHard to choose, but I like daisies.
ReplyDeleteEver since a child (yes, that was a long time ago) I have always loved the "wild" yellow rose. Kathy in Colo repzjratplainsdotnet
ReplyDeletemy. Favorite is the snapdragons. since moving to St.Louis I have seen very few, I guess that they don't grow here.
ReplyDeleteI love freesias - they come in such wonderful colors and have a beautiful scent.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower is nasturtiums, especially the yellow, orange and almost red ones. I collect their seeds every fall so I can plant again in the spring.
ReplyDeleteWhile I havent participated this year, I did last year and finally I now have a finished scrappy quilt to share! Thank you so much, I enjoy following your blog and seeing what everyone else is making.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite has always been the Pansy.
ReplyDeleteIt was my Dads favorite and whatever
Daddy liked I liked.
Thanks for all you do for us
Peonies...only because it is fun to say!
ReplyDeleteI love lots of flowers but particularly anemones as they were my mother's favourite.
ReplyDeleteCurrently my favorite is the portulacca. The plants are just so full and have lots of colorful flowers.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to hear that the hurricane did not affect you much! : )
ReplyDeleteViolets and snowdrops have to be my favorite flowers. They always surprise us so early during the winter promising spring just around the corner. The September colors are very lovely.
ReplyDeleteOne favorite flower? Seriously? I love pansies, poppies, hollyhocks, and peonies just to name a few. DH recently started planting Zinnias, and I love their little buds! Yep, I love flowers.
ReplyDeleteI love flowers! Though y absolute favorites are actually flowering trees. Dogwoods are at the top of the list, with magnolias not too far behind.
ReplyDeleteTulips are without a doubt my favorite. Unfortunately they are also the deer'sfavorite, so I never bother to plant them.
ReplyDeleteIt's almost fall and my favourite flower is blooming in some gardens. Asters, in all of their many colours, are my favourite.
ReplyDeleteBlack eyed Susan, although my flowers and garden never get enough attention, I tend to get distracted by fabric!
ReplyDeletethey are all my favorite at one time or another. Will pick a pink Hibiscus the size of a breakfast plate for today.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower depends on the season, so right now is the sunflower. Love that bright yellow gold!
ReplyDeleteI love what some would see as a weed, Queen Anne's lace. The lacy openness of the flowers intrigue me.
ReplyDeleteI like daises. Such simple, happy flowers.
ReplyDeleteI love carnations, especially the multi colored ones.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower is actually the Iris. A lot of that stems from the fact that I can grow those each year with ease. I love that I have added several new colors of them to my yard over the years.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say Orchids or Dahlias!
ReplyDeleteRoses. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteWe, in Canada, also have a three day weekend. It is still Monday for me, so I hope I'm not too late for the draw. (If so, too bad for me lol.) My favourite flower is Rudbeckia (and daisies) and for my exotic flower (not growing in Canada) is the Orchid (my wedding bouquet flower). Thanks for the chance. ;^)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower is the bearded iris -- so intricate! SO beautiful!! I love them in ALL colors, and nothing would please me more than if someone could cross-breed a bearded iris that would also make a lasting cut flower. Thanks for the chance to win. . . I LOVE your blog, and try to never miss a post. [lynnstck(at)yahoo.com]
