I read it in a book on Home & Garden tips,that everyone likes flowers nomatter what his personality,interests or likings might be.It's in the choice of the flower and it's colour that says a lot about any individual.
Though I do not know how to infer anyone's choice of a flower as a reflection of his personality,I got curious to know,what all kind of flowers people like.
Share with us the flower you like & the colour you love it most in.

ones that don't make me sneeze.

i like our passion flowers we've got in front of our house ... could do without the attendant bumblebees, but at least it's not yellowjackets and wasps like you get with honeysuckle.

i kinda like daisies. plain white with yellow center. and morning glories. and this kind of small budded rose plant with very dark red/black roses ... but i have no idea what kind they are.

but that's when i sit here and really focus on flowers. mostly i don't really notice them except to get away before i start sneezing.

In my case,as the article said,choose the flower you love most.I was totally confused,couldn't figure out my favourite,for I love just all of them.
But ever since I came across a bunch of red tulips,that are in my avtar,I have ranked them my "current" favourites.
Though I know,it being spring time at my end of the world,it won't be long when my favourite will change;)

I like red and pink for tulips and roses. I also like daisies sometimes for their simplicity. My current favorite are zinnias because they don't look real, the colors are amazing!!!

I love flowers, especially ones that are fragrant. My all-time favorite is the gardenia, but jasmine and plumeria (known as 'frangipani' in some places) are also high on my list.

We have many varieties of flowers, flowering shrubs, and flowering trees in our garden. Since we don't have a very cold winter, there's always something in bloom, year round. My husband 'collects' hibiscus varieties. I think we have 20-some different varieties and 30-some hibiscus plants in our garden at last count.

  Plumeria and Awapuhi are heavenly.
  
  You know, Bobbie, I just love you but every time you mention something like this my heart cries just a little bit. I think I'd give up the internet for the rest of the my life just to live where you are. (And for me, that's huge)

Marigolds, for their perennial durability and simple beauty. I'm told that my lack of a sense of smell helps me appreciate them.

Jack-in-the-pulpit.

Some sort of crop and/or weed that spreads a lavender haze over fields and ditches in the late summer.

Snapdragons, sprouting unexpectedly from the scattered seed of some years-gone garden.

Lilacs, for their beauty, and the way they expand to occupy available territory.

  Right. forgot the colors. I like the high-frequency colors: lavender, purple, violet.
  
  And, I missed one: lythrum. Also called purple loosestrife. One of the most beautiful flower beds I've seen was a strip of lythrum set between a stand of pines and a swath of shaded grass. The line of purple against the dark greens was a thing of beauty.
  
  Now, I read that there's an anti-lythrum movement. Apparently the plant is too hardy for many people's tastes.

We have had borage over lincolnshire this year, a nice purple colour for miles to see rather than the normal oil seed rape

  Sounds lovely. My eldest daughter has been in the British Isles, and had quite a bit to say about the land and the people.

I like 'em all. Favorites would be roses and orchids probably. The colors don't really matter to me, I can find beauty in just about any color.

Orchids and Gerbera Daisies.

The thought of a handful of daisies that used to be portrayed in old movies and cartoons is romantic to me.

Magnolia grandiflora

Back home they grow on trees.
Pick them off the trees and put the petals in a bowl to dry out.
This smells so good.

The oxeye daisy is my favourite. It's simple, it's a happy looking flower. It's tough and last forever.
