Please include me in the giveaway. My favorite flower is the tulip. I love the bright red, pink and the black. My Mother used to grow many varieties when I was a kid, I always loved the different varieties she would plant.

I don’t have a favorite flower anymore! It used to be calla lilies, but I don’t know if I can count them anymore because they were the flowers in my wedding bouquet (and on the invitations, the napkins, the program, etc.), and I’m divorced now. And my ex recently got remarried, and his new bride went with a calla lily bouquet as well. TOO WEIRD.
So now I feel like a I need a new fave. For now, I’ll say my favorite is a wildflower, the castilleja (the Indian paintbrush).
Dahlia for sure. AND, it’s the official flower of SF which makes me even happier since I’ve grown up just outside the city.

I know I may be a little odd, but I’m actually a girl who *gasp* hates flowers. While they are pretty to look at the smell of flowers tends to make me gag. If I had to choose one flower Ithe one I gravitate to is the Tulip because for the most part it’s scentless and at the same time beautiful.
