Favourite plant? (tree,flower,shrub) %26amp; why?
because its very colourful in our eyes.
Reply:all of them. im glad to be alive.
Reply:magnolia tree ,,,beautiful flowers,,,,
Reply:Lavender, i love the scent.
Reply:I've two favourites, the banyan tree and the boab or bottle tree.


The banyan can spread over an acre putting down aerial roots which sometimes conglomerate so you could think that you're at the trunk. However when you do reach the trunk with its huge buttress roots you know you have arrived. Spent many happy hours playing Tarzan, swinging from the aerial roots with other naked freaks in the jungle in Goa 30 odd years ago.


The boab can reach immense heights and with it bottle shape is unmistakable. It stores so much liquid that the aborigines could tap from it in times of drought. When they grow in isolation they almost look carrot shaped with the branches emerging from the flatish part of the top. They reach great heights. Often you can see a clump of young ones all growing from the same spot, probably to end up a one single giant. I suppose they are seeds that have sprouted from the same fruit. The fruit is edible but not particularly pleasant. Its like a sweet dried out sponge in a shell.


These pictures will give you some idea. (You can never find the picture you really want!)

Reply:Munky puzzle tree, need I say more.?


Seriously though, Whitby jet was formed from the monkey puzzle tree, and I love whitby jet jewellery, and the tree is a beautiful shape.
Reply:I like roses as they are beautiful, easy to grow, and reliable bloomers. I especially like English roses.
Reply:willow trees, because they pretect you from the sun/rain and look pretty.
Reply:Its difficult to name just one, my favourite tree at the moment is Cornus controversa 'Varigata' (wedding cake tree) closely followed by Sorbus hupehensis - beautiful pink leaves and berries in the autumn. I also love Liquidamber styraciflua for its' stunning autumn colour as well as Eunomus alatus which goes a scarlet red in autumn. Another favourite is Acer palmatum 'Osakasuki' which also goes a beautiful red in autumn as does Euonymus europeas 'Red Cascade' - as I said, it's difficult to name just one!
Reply:Gerbera
Reply:magnolia tree. fabulous tulip like flowers with no leaves whilst flowering so you get the full effect of the blooms. when flowers have gone it has a lovely glossy leaf.
