Favorite WILD flower: Cactus Flowers - especially the ones that only bloom at night, 'cuz they're different. (or Lily of the Valley, but I haven't seen them in AZ.)

Favorite GARDEN flower: Sunflower

Favorite ROSE variety: Sunset Roses or...I can't remember the name, but they are a creamy white on bottom, and the edges are a deep, dark pink. A florist called them Fantasia Roses, but I don't think that is what they are really called.

Favorite TROPICAL/INDOOR flower: Lilies, especially Stargazer

Favorite flower SCENT: whoop, no answer here, most make my head hurt .

Can I ask...

I almost included baby's breath/bridal wreath in favorite wild flower.

Or would that be a garden flower?

For that matter is baby's breath/bridal wreath the same thing?

Yes, I know I'm stupid.
