Calling all plant lovers, what is your favorite plant?

[stellabelle]

I love orchids :)

Omigosh, me too! I've always been afraid to buy one though because they're expensive and I get really sad when things die.

Phalaenopsis is very robust. And almost everblooming.

I'm jealous! What colors are they?
I'd love a black one like this :]

Definitely one of my favorite plants. I wouldn't still be here without it ....kratom is a great natural pain reliever I wish I had access too before so many years of opoids!
I also like marijuana plant but it wouldn't let me uploaded another picture from my phone.
I also like mushrooms....
I think in another life I could have been a natural healer and a hunter- gather of medicinal herbs etc.
I barely started to appreciate plants for cooking and spices/flavoring in the past few years when I learned about food for medicine and fuel...that fascinated me and I realized I had made it thru most my life in a haze of rx's and numb.....I didn't get to appreciate things like taste until I had no medicines or synthetic anything by mouth for a year!! I would love to learn how to cook from whole plants foods base....

Sorry I'm a new plant nerd but not like flowers and pretty stuff! I never could keep a plant alive but I love those succulents!! Thanks for the nice distraction!! If my body was working I think I could see myself learning to garden!! If you said I might want to do that 10 years ago I would have laughed!!

There's some pretty mushrooms!!

I have heard of kratom being quite beneficial to a number of people, especially with opioid withdrawals.


Marijuana is definitely a beautiful plant as well. I had one that the leaves would reach towards the sunlight and it was very fascinating to watch.

Don't be sorry! All plants are welcome here, not all have to be types that flower to appreciate their beauty. I'm happy you enjoyed the thread :]

They make excellent bonsais too!

Honeysuckle. In the rural area I used to live during the weeks of late spring into summer the cool air of the morning heating up to noon temperatures and back down into the night brings out a time specific layering of vegetative and floral smells from the woods and out across the fields.

That sounds so surreal.

@Thewhowithin69 i love all herbs and things like that :-) the smell of fresh mint and basil and thyme (thank God for spell check on that one!) and fresh coriander chopped up

Forgot to add - I love spider plant too! And it's little babies that sprout roots and become their own plant.

They're one of my favorites. I love California, I am so homesick. They grow wild there.

Sometimes we get a few growing in our garden, they're lovely

Almond Blossoms.
They're tree flowers of course, so I'm cheating a little, but f*ck it.

From Van Gogh's masterpiece to the white ladies of Ibiza.
They're beautiful.
