I love flowers but I have a hard time growing them. I tend to go to the story and buy the mixed bouquets and place them around the house. My favorite two flowers are Roses and Lilies.

I love when flowers are in dirt. I am especially into hibiscus flowers right now. So purdy!

I have two favorite flowers...
Tulips and the blooms on butterfly bushes.
They are both just beautiful and butterfly bush blooms have one of the sweetest smells.
I can't stand the thought of cutting flowers.
Anybody else like butterfly bushes?

Marigolds have long been a favorite of mine.

I don't think I have ever seen a butterfly bush! But there is a bush here that has a great scent to it as well. Around this time of year (it's kind of finishing up now, though). I don't know the name of it in Japanese or in English, but I looked up the butterfly bush, and it's definitely not that!
