Over the years, flowers have become an iconic way to brighten up a space in seconds. They come in all shapes and sizes, and while everyone is familiar with this fact, not everyone knows which flowers are the most popular. Across America, people typically start planting flowers when the weather reaches 60 degrees.
Common flowers you might see while walking include marigolds, daisies, daffodils, tulips, and hyacinths. However, these are not necessarily the favorites of the spring season; they are simply the flowers that are most readily available at stores when spring arrives. Interestingly enough, many favorite spring flowers are not put out until late in the season, only then they are put out when the season begins to transition to summer. Some of these flowers include violas, lobelias, petunias, ranunculus, and hellebores, which are often seen in garden stores at that time.
The new big thing is buying multi-seed wildflower packets and throwing them across the yard to create a colorful variety of different types of flowers in a single place. This adds to local ecosystems by attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies, and takes minimum effort when it comes to planting. This packet creates a bright and colorful spot in the garden as only the brightness of flowers bloom from this packet.
Each flower has its own personality when in a garden; it could be the center of attention, a distraction from an open space, or a way to add flair and color to an open spot. Beyond that, flowers can prompt different emotions and memories, bringing warmth and comfort to those who plant them or view them. Ultimately, the unique traits of each flower contribute to the overall harmony and beauty of the garden.
“Bleeding hearts are one of my favorite flowers, they look like hearts that are melting on the stem and about to fall off,” said junior Lily Rosenblum.
When it comes to favorite flowers, each flower often reflects a person’s individuality. Many times, certain flowers seem to resonate with someone’s personality. For instance, a vibrant sunflower can be suited to someone who has a warm open personality. In summary, flowers are the most beautiful natural item that occurs in nature. Almost every time you look at a flower, no matter if it is in a garden, meadow, or on a table, stop and smell the flowers.
