  4. Wow i love the azalea blossom blush. I tried ordered it from my nordstroms but they messed up my order and i never received it so hopefully i can win it. But my favorite flowers are roses in fuchsia because they were the first flower my bf of 5 yrs gave me on our first date.

  22. I love hibiscuses. They are so big and colorful! Too bad I can’t find them in Ohio that aren’t made of silk.

    Reply

  24. Yay! I’ve been wanting this for so long. It’s really hard to find a pale pink w/purple toned blush.

    Favorite flowers by far are peonies. 🙂

  27. Hi! I don’t know if I can participate because I live in Quebec, Canada… but anyways, my favorite flowers are circus roses. They are yellow and orange roses that open really big when they grow 🙂 And they smell good 😀

  28. I love all flowers… the allergy-friendly kind aka fake flowers LOL. If my nose & eyes could take, I would swim in a sea of Sweet Peas.

    Reply

  30. Oh I love yellow roses!!! They make me smile and somehow remind me of a sunny Saturday morning. Orchids comes close second though.

  51. Lilie’s are my absolutely fave – so pretty and I love that they can be kind of morbid, beautiful and inspirational all at once

    Reply

  57. My favorite flowers [that i actually know the name of] are orchids. They’re so elegant and lovely and i just love that if you take really good care of the plant after the flowers have wilted and died, they can still come back again 🙂

  61. Ooo, fun!

    I love tulips…ever since seeing them on a road trip up to Vancouver from SoCal at Mount Vernon, Washington (google “tulips” and “Skagit Valley”) when I was younger. There are fiiiiiiields of tulips, and it looks like there’s a giant paint swatch of reds, yellows, and pinks..and as you get closer, you realize that they’re giant fields of tulips (and daffodils). It’s a gorgeous spring time scene. If one ever takes a road trip up north, and it’s spring time, one must go through here! =)

    But I can’t limit myself! I also love orchids, and were able to find lovely green cymbidium orchids for my wedding….and gerbera daisies, who are always so bright and fills any room with good cheer.

    I can’t ever keep flowers alive though. =( I can plant veggies in little pots, but flowers always die on me. Sigh.

  65. My favorite flower has to be Lilies any type of Stargazers. They’re so big and pair up greatly with any other flowers. They smell amazing too but can be hard to find in shop some times.

    Reply

  66. I have always loved orchids. I think they’re simple yet beautiful, plus white orchids have a vague fragrance similar to White Blue by Dolce & Gabbana (At least I think so!) 🙂

    Reply

  81. AHHH LOVE THIS BLUSH. I was so sad when it sold out before I could grab it!!!!

    I love stargazer lilies, I think they’re so gorgeous!

  87. My favorite flower is the daffodil! I love the shape and color and that it only blossoms for a week. and of course, the yellow color is GORGEOUS.

    Reply

  89. My fav flower has got to be a plumeria. It looks so pretty and smells amazing! Too bad I can only cherish it when I am on vacation…

    Reply

    Thanks for the great giveaway!!! 🙂

    Reply

  117. I love lilies and daisies … lilies especially stargazers because they are dreamy and smell so good; and daisies because they are a happy, colorful and fun flower! Together – they are awesome!!!

    Reply

  140. Orchids but I also really like the springy flowers (crocus, iris, daffodil, violets) because they remind me of being younger and playing outside.

    Reply

  179. OMG I’d love to get this!

    My favorite flowers are pink peonies! SOO pretty – I recently saw a bridal bouquet made of nothing but pink peonies…absolutely gorgeous!

    Reply

  189. Favorite flower–irises, lilies, daisies, roses. If I had to pick one, it’s a tie between white daisies and purple irises.

    Reply

  202. ooohhh this one;s hard….I think I’ll go with orchids….all kinds of orchids! they’re just so colorful and exotic and just amazingly beautiful!

    Reply

  207. I’m a sucker for any flowers, but I love sunflowers, roses, bluebonnets, morning glories….

    I love them all, I guess. That would make it easier than listing all the flowers in the world!

    Reply

  213. I seem to go back and forth… between gerbers and tulips. Today is definitely a tulip day. PINK. soso pretty with the bright green stems!

    Reply

  214. I have lots of favorite flowers but a couple of them are any kind of lilly, roses, and peonies! I am a sucker for any flower though. 🙂

    Reply

  229. My favorite is a green orchid. When we were dating, this is the first flowet that my now husband gave me. Not just one, but a stem of them. I now grow them in Michigan and they are so great.

    Reply

  240. I love waterlilies, because you have to make an effort to go to see them, smell them. They won’t survive in your vase, but only in their natural environment.

    Reply

  241. I love roses. I remember one time I went to the Rose Gardens in Oregon and there was the lovely rose that also smelled like lychee.. Mmmm..

    Reply

  255. Gardenia flower! They are easily the best smelling flowers ever. My mother used to pick gardenias from the yard and tie them onto my school uniform’s button.

    Reply

  262. I’m going to go with daisies also. Cheerful, bright and lovely. Just like I strive to be daily but usually fail miserably in the process, haha.

    Reply

  266. 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. We would go through the catalog and pick out what colors and varieties of tulips to order to plant in the Spring. Thank you.

    Thanks for the great contest!

    Reply

  272. AH!, My favorite flower has got to be Daffodils! It kind of matches my name, and it’s as cheery and yellow as me 😀 But then again, I do looove Lavender flowers! They’re so beautiful! (and they smell so uplifting!)

    Reply

  279. I’m not really a flower person but I still like looking at pretty flowers. Hmm…I guess my favorite is probably white lilies.

    Reply

  288. My favorite flower would have to be tiger lilies, because they’re so bright and vibrant.
    & thanks for offering to give away MAC makeup, whoever wins will be glad they read your blog and entered!

  299. My favorite flowers are daisies.
    Mainly because I love the stark contrast of the white petals and inner yellow against the dark green stem.
    Also it reminds me of spring, which is my favorite season!

    Reply

  306. My favorite flower would have to be Orchid’s they are so beautiful and Exotic!!!

    My second favorite would have to be Cherry Blossoms they are beautiful!!!!

    Reply

  309. 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).

  310. 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.

    Reply

  315. Lilacs, hands down. I love walking down the street in spring and the wind shifts and you catch the heady scent of lilacs.

    Reply

  329. tulips and roses are tied for first! tulips are just gorgeously shaped and roses… well, it’s cliche but getting roses makes me feel bubbly inside. and my perfume is bulgari rose essentielle!

    Reply

  337. My favourite flowers…. lilacs. I absolutely love their scent! Also love daffodils, hyacinths, and pink roses. 🙂

    Reply

  347. When I was younger, I used to buy carnations with my own money at the grocery store because I thought they were so pretty. I thought the colors were amazing. It wasn’t until years later that someone told me that the flowers are actually dyed. I thought it was all due to Mother Nature! Now my boyfriend always buys me roses, but I’m reminded of how it felt to be young everytime I see a carnation.

    Reply

  355. “Just Joey” roses are my all time favourite flower! The scent is gorgeous and I’m lucky enough to have them in my garden 🙂

  363. I absolutely adore daffodils. They beautiful and so delicate, and they only grow for a very short time (about 3 weeks) every year. They are a special little surprise letting us know that spring is here!

    Reply

  368. ranunculus, believe it or not.

    tulips and dahlias and sunflowers i love, but ranunculus has the extra perk of being gorgeous AND fun to say, :p

    Reply

  369. I am responding the MAC blush – I would love to say a “Hot Pink Cattalyea Orchid in full bloom”! Or, the bouganveilla that blooms in California – usually a hot pink/coral color – the fragrance is enticing and exotic as well – my cousin grows them in Palm Desert, California and aroma is intoxicating!

  385. Ranunculus has always been my favorite, and lately I have also discovered the Juliet Rose and I am OBSESSED. I need Juliet Roses everywhere in my life lol they look like gorgeous ruffled skirts. LOVE!

  392. I’m a longtime fan of Casablancas. I think they’re the ultimate in class. When I’m feeling down though, nothing cheers me up like yellow tulips!

    Reply

  407. Hibiscus has always been my fave – even though they only bloom for a day.

    We had a plant when I was a little girl and I would get so excited when I woke up to see the beautiful red blossoms, but would get so upset at night when they died!

    Reply

  410. There are a lot of flowers I like, but stephanotis is one favorite–they smell yummy and are beautiful accents in corsages and nosegays.

    Reply

  417. My favorite flower is an african violet because it was givin to me after having my son and I manage not to kill the poor flower.

    Reply

  433. I love many flowers but all time favourite is the fragrant rose, it just signifies romance and love and that heady fragrant – i’m in love! 😀

    Reply

  434. I love all flowers – my aim is to open a flower shop sometime soon! My current favourites are tulips and peonies.. because I can only get them when I travel abroad!

    Reply

  435. It would be tulips for their looks and theri spring-ness. I love how simple yet pretty and versatile tehy are.
    For the scent, I’d say lilacs – I just don’t think anyone is left untouched by that wonderful fragrance that I associate with warm, fresh early summer days . Oh I soo await that time!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    Reply

  439. As an amateur horticulturalist., this is one of the most difficult questions you could possibly ask me! I love all flowers, but I guess I’ll say antique and English roses.

  440. Sampaguita – My mom told me that she used to sell garlands made from this flower when she was younger. I always remember her each time I see them sold on the streets.

    Reply

  460. I love the sight of tulips popping up from the ground in all their aggressive glory. It’s the first sign of spring and makes me want to cheer.

    Reply

  464. definitely a tie between magnolia blossoms and orange blossoms. they both smell so lovely and remind me of my favorite place in california 🙂

    Reply

  466. I looooove TIGER LILIES. They’re bright, tropical, spunky and has that dangerously beautiful look to them. Add Tiger Lilies to anything and it’ll totally give it that extra “VA-VA-VA-VOOM” factor.

    Reply

  469. I love hycacinths (spelling ?) but they smell sooooo good! And they’re almost here, because they start selling them around Easter time…mmmmmmmm 🙂

    Reply

  473. My favourites are freesias – smell just lovely, lillies, orchids, tulips, roses and carnations as they tend to last awhile so I can enjoy them for longer.

    Reply

  479. White hibiscus’
    there was this huge plant outside my grandmas house and each year she would send me one in the mail and when i turned 16 she gave me a root to hers so i can grow my own
    i love the soft petals and how the sides of the petals near the stigma become a nice crimson and sometimes incarnadine color

    Reply

  485. Great giveaway doll! Do not own any purple/pink blushes so this would be lovely to try! I absolutely hands down LOVE Calla Lillys! My entire room was based around them when I lived at home, lamp, ceiling light, pictures, wall light, decor and all! They are so beautiful and elegant. GOOD LUCK to everyone and best wishes! Thanks for the fab. opportunity!♥Keep that pretty head to the SKY!

    Reply

  487. It sounds weird, but my favorite flower is the bleeding heart! They grow in my parent’s backyard (someone planted them at some point) and I LOVED them as a kid.

    But the flower I’d want to receive? Tulips? Carnations? I’m pretty boring that way…

    Reply

  491. My favorite flower since early childhood has been a peony. I have a great picture of my grandma holding one of her homegrown peonies from her garden next to my head as a 9 month old baby. I’ve wanted peonies for my wedding bouquet all my life!

    Reply

  499. My favorite is Daisies, they remind me of my mother. My grandma always had a garden, so my mom would always put flowers in our home, & I loved the Daisies.

    Reply

  502. Oooh! Definitely the sampaguita, the national flower of the Philippines (yep, proudly a Filipino!). Aside from that, I also love it’s sweet (yet non-overpowering) fragrance and white color. Actually, the flower’s meaning is “innocence”! 🙂

    P.S. Karen, are you a Filipino? Just asking. 🙂

  517. Hi There!

    My favorite flower of all time is a Gerbera! It was hard to pick because I looooove wonderfully smelling flowers and the Gerbera doesn’t smell but it’s always bright, cheerful and beautiful! 🙂

    Reply

  518. Ranunculus – b/c it’s petals are packed closer and are short and wider then your garden variety roses. They really gave my wedding bouquet a little something special. My second fav is freesia b/c it’s smells so good!

    Reply

  520. my favorite flower has always been SUNFLOWERS!! When I was in kindergarten I loved them so much I wore this sunflower dress(it was covered with sunflowers) all the time! I even had a vegetable dress to top that. So embarrassing but I still looked good 🙂

    Reply

  529. I live in the northeast so imagine my surprise the first time I went to California to see the exotic and truly magical birds of paradise growing along some of the tree lining the streets. Ever since then I have been obsessed with them! I think they are truly a breathtaking flower and gift from God, The colors are stunning and the shape like nothing else! I also am in love with a variety of orchids. The more exotic and rare, the more I love! I also sent out a tweet about this wonderful giveaway, my twitter name is joannaonthelake

    Thank you so much!
