I really really really like beautiful ancient ginkgo trees, and delicate little lemon flowers, but also just love cabbages more than a person probably should. They're just very endearing to me?

cabbages are in my top ten.

They look like giant, friendly rose blossoms popping straight up from the ground.

@Dangerous_beans Gosh the brassica family is just overdoing itself with how many cultivars of it are delectable. Heck, we even make cooking oil out of a couple

A Venus flytrap gets pretty high up for me. Such a strange little plant, full of contradictions.

I love rosemary so much, not only because it's one of the few I've managed to grow and not kill, but partially because of that. It also smells wonderful. And I also love dandelions and sunflowers and marigolds. And weeping willows. Probably more, but those are the ones that immediately come to mind.

@greengaybles I love all of those too, and especially the rosemary smell! My nose isn't angry about it as a scent either, which is rare...

I don’t know if I have A favorite, per se, but I really like cacti and other succulents. I find the plant life of the Sonoran Desert in the southwest US fascinating.

But I like the forests and meadows of my current home in southwest Michigan too.

@lerxst I adore succulents, they're very good. And it's wild that there's apparently tree sized succulents on the African continent, I don't remember where? Amazing

Not only a favourite kind of plant but favourite individual plants.

The biggest sugar maple I can see from my north window.

The potted Monstera in my bedroom.

The elephant's foot palm that lives outside for the summer but has to come in for 7 months. Bought when 10 cm high, now 2.5 metres 35 years later.

@EricLawton That's a good plant. I loved this lemon tree my mother planted as a child, it lived in a fairly cool and shaded room so it never grew immense, but I was fond of it

Currently it is this, Cammassia, it's blooming and culturally important here for centuries. But tomorrow it may be a western red cedar, also important and always a top contender, and this summer no doubt a fat beefsteak tomato plant.
A lavender/blue flower in a grassy meadow with yellow emerging pistils, the top of it just beginning to open. It’s a camas blossom, the first of the spring here. The bulb below was an important starchy food staple for the first people of the Northwest, still is to some extent.

Camas blooms are one of my favorite spring sights! Our home is not far from what was historically a large camas marsh, and still to this day bursts into blue this time of year. That actually reminds me, I've gotta go up and wander amongst the camas before they completely fade away.

Here's a picture I took of the camas we planted in our sidewalk strip.

Blue-purple camas flowers. Blue skies and a small suburban house are visible in the background.

@spencer Have several in my yard as well but need to move to a sunnier spot. I’ve been advocating for camas meadow restoration for years and finally now land managers are responding. The photo is from a local park.
