I have a favourite flower!

thanks Curt!
Patti M. May 24, 2009, 9:09pm EDT

Forget me knots.  I really have no idea.
Marianne M. May 24, 2009, 9:09pm EDT

Oh dear ... this has me stumped!
Mariana T. May 24, 2009, 9:19pm EDT

Poison Ivy?  Salud
Mariana T. May 24, 2009, 9:19pm EDT

Larkspur!!!   yes, that's poisonous to cows - just learned that last night - sheep can eat it though - is that right?  Salud
Priscilla P. May 24, 2009, 9:27pm EDT

I don't know. What?
JOHN BECK May 25, 2009, 12:53am EDT

Iris?
Elaine S. May 25, 2009, 6:42am EDT

I have no idea
Deb J. May 25, 2009, 10:03am EDT

Curt, my friend, I just don't know enough about my flowers even though I plant them and have my faithful annuals.  It's not poison ivy is it...no...it doesn't have flowers...what about a poinsetta?  Well, I tried, didn't I???  :o)
Mariana T. May 25, 2009, 11:10am EDT

If you means your Icon - isn't your icon, Larkspur?  duh.  Salud
Rhetta A. May 25, 2009, 11:23am EDT

Larkspur, right?
Curt L. May 25, 2009, 11:46am EDT

And the answer is, 'Monkshood', my icon!

 

Congratulations to Cindy, who sent me a message with the correct answer so

the guessing could continue!

 

Happy Memorial Day, everyone!
Peter Joseph Swanson May 25, 2009, 11:48am EDT

OH, ha ha - It's just YOU !!!
Marge H. May 25, 2009, 1:57pm EDT

I had no idea! Great way to stump everyone except Cindy. WTG Cindy. Yay!!!
Marge H. May 25, 2009, 1:58pm EDT

Happy Memorial Day to you too.
Ruth Luce May 25, 2009, 2:12pm EDT

Very clever lady, too fun Curt!
t b. May 25, 2009, 11:02pm EDT

Silly me, I was thinking BellaDonna.

In my garden, Larkspur is an annual.
Curt L. May 25, 2009, 11:27pm EDT

A grand poisonous choice, t. b.!

Witches used Bella Donna to kill as well to fly!
Sherrie H. May 26, 2009, 2:05am EDT

Cute riddle!
Tina Coruth May 26, 2009, 12:03pm EDT

What a great clue!! Very clever, Curt!
William Dotani May 26, 2009, 12:33pm EDT

It must be the dandelion. Is any other plant so vile, pernicious and possibly poisonous to lawns everywhere except Taylor, of course. Why Taylor? Well, it is west of Pelham road and has the famous gardner Curt (maybe on Oprah soon???) who either makes lots of wine or knows how to vanquish the always looming threat of the very very pernicious dandelion. It should also be noted there is no yellow snow around Curt's house in Winter.
Curt L. May 26, 2009, 12:50pm EDT

LOL William!
Donald M. May 28, 2009, 3:09pm EDT

Good thing to wait until the guessing is over. That way I get educated on the flowers by Curt.
Wilma M. Aug 5, 2009, 10:29am EDT
I guessed this one before I read any of the comments. I had no idea monkshood was poisonous but the "it's just me" gave it away!
Wilma M. Aug 5, 2009, 10:30am EDT
I've been going through a lot of my notifications while I'm out here on the coast. I see that most of the things I've missed in the last couple months were usually posted when I was out of town visiting Madison or else she was in town visiting me! (That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.)

10 stars for you and your lovely iconic plant. ;o)
