Your favorite flower?

The flower that is on sale at the garden center.

Really, I dunno. Can't just pick one, but I suppose either scarlet runner beans or rugosa roses--I like flowers that turn into something edible later in life. Or maybe nasturtiums, they are edible all by themselves.
 
I used to be a make up artist. I miss it!
I like plumeria's, they smell good and have a range of colors. Even with in the actual flower.
Then my second is lillies, any will do!
 
It's a tie between gardenias and night blooming jasmine, both for the fragrance.
 
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders Fields.

- John McCrae
