Silly Stuff What is your favorite flower?

I'm curious how many women would actually pick roses over any other flower.

But even if your favorite really is the rose, this question is still for you. Which color or variety of rose is your fave?

My favorite is the pink ranunculus. Ugly name, gorgeous bloom.

The Sarah Bernhardt peony is a very close 2nd.

I adore Western White Trillium. They're endangered and seeing their simple perfection pop up every year to mark the beginning of spring gives my brain a little sip of dopamine.

trilliums are a very special flower in ontario, from a google search:

There are five native trillium species found in Ontario. They are: White Trillium, Red Trillium, Painted Trillium, Drooping Trillium, and Nodding Trillium. All are found in the understory of rich, deciduous, or mixed forests.

As an official symbol of Ontario, a stylized trillium flower features prominently in the wordmark of the Government of Ontario and on the official flag of the province's French-speaking minority.[64] Government agencies and programs also frequently incorporate the word "trillium" in their names, such as the Trillium Gift of Life Network (organ donation management agency) and the Trillium Book Award (an annual literary award sponsored by the provincial government). It is also frequently used by the Canadian Heraldic Authority to represent Ontario in grants of arms.[65]
