Most of the time it’s tulips. They’re classic, not overly fancy, come in a ton of colors and a few different petal shapes if you need something a little extra, and they just remind me of spring and the shape makes me happy.
The one I like that’s out of my league is the fuchsia. I wanted one for a few years, kept forgetting to buy one, and last year I finally got one. It was about double what I like to spend on plants because half of them die because I’m an over-waterer. The fuchsia lasted a week. 😣
This thing looks magical though, and I still can’t believe it’s from this planet.
They’re just so versatile. Even a single one has great minimalist beauty. A nice bouquet adds a burst of color to match or complement a room. And their straight, controlled shape can make beautiful displays or patterns outdoors. I also enjoy them at all stages of bloom too.
The ones at the Ottawa festival are genetically engineered to form specific colour petals (including colour gradients and patterns on the petals themselves), and then the bulbs are strategically planted to form really beautiful flowerbeds with nice patterns or even simple images. It’s like pixel art with flowers 🌷

I’m also a big fan of tulips. I live near the park in Ottawa where they hold the annual tulip festival. It’s always a great time.

Oh no! You picked a dark magic one! 😮
They would definitely not be as charming if that happened.
That’s ok, that fuschia had a good life that week. I’ve killed many an expensive rose bush in a week or two. ;)
