Favourite Flowers for inside house

[MamaLlama123]

What are you favourite flowers for inside house?

it's never something i normally buy.. looking for inspiration!

Orchids because they last so long and come back reliably also

Peoneys are my favourite. Daffodils at this time of year and have the benefit of being cheap!

I like freesias, stocks and sunflowers at the appropriate time of year.

At this time of year, tulips for colour - they last ages if you trim the stems every couple of days - and hyacinths for fragrance. Otherwise lilies last a couple of weeks and I love the smell (although I know some don't!). I also like a big bunch of eucalyptus in the kitchen; it makes the whole house smell green and fresh, like a florist's.

Daffodils and tulips can't be beaten to be honest.
Lilies are my favourite but can stain terribly so have to be watched carefully before they droop.

Tulips.

though, if buying for myself I tend to get carnations - they always last so well.

At this time of year, you can't beat a bunch of daffs. Bright and cheerful but very cheap.

Daffs this time of year. Brings sunshine into the room.

I like daffs, tulips, peonies and mimosa though not all together. Lilies too, but only oriental or longi ones that are scented; my favourites are stargazer lilies. I do like orchids but they don't do anything so just look the same for weeks on end and aren't scented - you may as well buy a good fake!

I tend to buy things in season, so this week I got a couple of quids worth of daffs which are lovely and cheerful. I also like anything fragrant, roses, freesias and stocks are my favourites.

I like tulips and roses in really bright primary colours- our kitchen walls are a deep blue, so orange, yellow, red and bright pink pop beautifully.

All the usual daffs, roses, tulips etc but also look out for alstromerias because they last really really well. And they are different and pretty, a bit orchid-like. https://www.chrysal.com/en-gb/tips/flower-of-the-month/alstroemeria-care-tips

Tulips definitely.
I also really like spray carnations - whenever I’ve bought them they’ve always opened up really nicely and lasted quite a while before starting to wilt. And you get such a lovely range of colours.

I tend to buy roses because they are safe for my cat. I like a mix of pink and white.

I love tulips too but they aren’t as feline friendly, and lilies are an absolute no.

At different times of year:

Daffs
Tulips
Sunflowers
Roses
Ornamental cabbage

Love yellow flowers the most but right now am still enjoying my Valentine's Day roses which have lasted amazingly well!

Tulips or sunflowers as a treat.

I buy those little pots of bulbs you can get for about £3 at the supermarket. At the moment I have daffodils and hyacinths on my window sill. They last longer than cut flowers and when they go over I plant the bulbs in my garden and they often flower there year after year.

Daffodils 💛💛💛

If you've got cats you have to be careful with flowers. I've got a list from Cats Protection if anyone is interested

Alstromeria for me too, the ones from Tesco reliably last 3 weeks. I like the look of daffodils but not braved any in the house for years now since we had a bunch that absolutely stank of sewage. Google tells me that this is a thing, so never risked it since. I like my flowers to be pretty scentless, which is a shame as I love eucalyptus but after a few days the scent gets too overwhelming and medicinal.

I love Lillie's but can't have them because I have cats that I love more.

I've got a Lego orchid. My DS bought it for me for Xmas. A huge joke about 'Here's a plant you can't kill Mum. Nope, he just wanted to build it for me.

I love tulips & peonies as they look good in a dramatic, blousy way even when they're past their fresh best

Yellow tulips.

But.......I've never heard of trimming their stalks every day to make them last longer? Is this really true? I usually throw them away after a week?
