      Wow. This is tough! It’s hard to narrow down. Can I have four? My absolute favourite is a sweet pea. I like the cupani ones as they have a purpley-blue flower that is just stunning. It’s basically summer in a flower. My second one (partly because I feel like I ought to have something edible there as a nutritionist) is the bramble because I like eating the blackberries off it, and I have many many happy memories of being sent out to collect them as a kid, and eating most of them before I got home 🤣 I love roses because my grandmother used to grow them and she died 6 months before my husband and I got married, so I collected the rose petals from her garden and dried them to make it into confetti so it felt like she was there. 🥀 🎉👰 And I love snowdrops and crocuses because they spring out of my bare garden in the depths of winter and reminds me summer is on its way…… ☀️
