  4. How difficult to choose a favourite flower! Perhaps today it's the beautiful old rose that's blooming just outside the door. Every time I brush by it, a beautiful scent is released that brightens my day.

  7. There are so many flowers I love but in the end there is no one like the morning glory for me. They grow so fast and high (even if they are only "yearly", they grow so fast, it doesn't matter) and form a green wall... and then they start blooming, every morning new flowers with purple, pink and white!
