We ask. You answer. Every question gets you thinking about what's true for you.

What is your favorite flower? (And, are you curious as to why we’re asking?)

Daily | October 20th, 2008 by Danielle LaPorte

    Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men or animals. Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression; some are pensive and diffident; others again are plain, honest and upright, like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock. – Henry Ward Beecher, Star Papers: A Discourse of Flowers

    Carrie says: Peonies: full, lush, elegant and casual. They live a short life with passion and power then fade.
     

    Danielle says: As I wrote in Style Statement, I think my favorite flower is “yet to be discovered…it grows deep in the jungle somewhere and only blooms on a full moon.” But other than that Sacred Dramatic-ness: heavy white orchids in terra cotta pots. They last for ages. Durable but particularly sensitive.

    So, to find out why we’re asking, read Know Your Flower Power: A Meditation For Blossoming.
