I was going to ask favorite rose color, but I realized people like other flowers than roses! I really enjoy the color blue, and sadly most flowers are pinks, reds, whites and oranges. Although I really enjoy getting white flowers with blue dye in the water so they turn blue.

So what kind of flowers do you really enjoy getting and what colors are your favorite?

My favorite flower, the stargazer lily, can't usually be found around Valentine's Day. But I like the dark red roses or any other flower I can enjoy the scent of without having to snort pollen to do it.

I love tulips, buttercups and a type of rose called Lemons and Oranges. I really don't like getting red roses for Valentines day, I think florists jack them up and rip people off because that's what you're 'supposed' to give. I prefer a 12 dollar bundle of flowers from the farmers market, whole foods or something like that.

I have this weird, crazy soft spot for blue carnations.

The lily is my favorite flower - so I'll take any kind.

There are blue/lavender roses, buzz.

I'm old-fashioned with the roses ... but they have to be unique shades, like two-toned or antiqued yellow or creamsicle orange or candy pink. And I would love those lavender roses for sure.

Purple roses! Of course. LOL!

Though it's very hard to find a darker purple rose. But I do love Levon roses as well. They're a soft lavender rose.

I love carnations in any and all colors. The flowers are so pretty and delicate looking. I love the smell of them as well.

Sigel used to buy me rosebuds and then tell me I'd know how much he loved me by watching the rose bloom...it would invariably die without opening! We learned later that it's a problem with the way the rose is cut not an indication that he didn't love me. LOL I like roses and all but really really prefer carnations.

Stargazer lily is my favorite as well! I HAD to have a few in my wedding bouquet! I also like the dark red roses for V-day!

I had some in my wedding bouquet as well, in fact, I think most of it was the stargazers. But they were all fake so that I could love them forever

Golden pathos potted plant to be honest!!!!

I do not like cut flowers from a store to be honest. And in the spring, summer and fall, I like garden flowers or wildflowers.

Any flowers, it's the thought behind them that counts. I've loved the expensive vases of 2 dozen roses as much as I loved the $15 bouquet from the grocery store. I love bright, colorful arrangements. I love sleek and elegant looking arrangements too. My favorite flowers are daffodils, sunflowers and tulips.

Ah thats the name, thanks

I like the two toned ones as well. I get annoyed going into flower sections at grocery stores because I want to pick all the perfect flowers from each pre-made bouquet.

I am partial to tulips. Giving flowers used to be more than the gesture it is today, it was a way of sending messages. The type of flower and even the colour conveys a different meaning.
Red tulips as my favourite for their meaning.
The tulip originated in Persia, and quite frankly the Persians were a pretty damn romantic lot. There is a legend that goes with the dark red coloured tulips. The story goes that a prince named Farhad was love struck by a maiden named Shirin. When Farhad learned that Shirin had been killed, he was so overcome with grief that he killed himself - riding his horse over the edge of a cliff. It's said that a scarlet tulip sprang up from each droplet of his blood, giving the red tulip the meaning "perfect love." (Not sure why so many 'true love' stories always have to end with death but w/e)
Anyway, it's said that the tulip’s crimson red petals also symbolized the red flames of burning passion and love for one another and that the velvety black center represents a lover's heart, darkened by the heat of passion.

I love Stargazer and Aster lilies. My husband sent me flowers just the other day with lilies and red roses. He has never had flowers delivered to me before; he will bring me flowers, but just never ordered them and had them delivered before. Surprised the hell out of me, especially since he told me he was sending me a stripper-gram instead.
