I got the Python joke, of course! Actually, even before you said that it was supposed to be, I could hear that high-pitched English accent...
Hopeless, I know.
No need to enter me. I'm just dropping in to say thanks for the mail. I've got it posted at Win a Book.
I love Oak Trees...they are big, strong and stable. They make a great climbing tree as well their shading capabilities are superb!
Hope to win. :)
No need to enter me, although I enjoy Lilies. Just wanted to say I LOVED this book. It's a light read but fantastically done.
Looks like a good read. My favorite plant is the Orchid as well. I had the green orchids in my bouquet at my wedding with some daisies, which are my second favorite!
I would love to be entered, and I've popped the giveaway in my sidebar.
I love Calla Lilys (did I spell that right? lol) And Lilacs! Thanks for entering me.
Mine's a tie between weeping willows and tulips...
Hi, I found your blog through another blog. I will add it to my favs. so I can keep coming back.
I have been wanting to read this book!!!
One of my favorite plants are African Violets. I am not a real house plant person, but I love African Violets and they seem to flourish under my care. And I love that I can have constant flowers all year round even in the winter.
Please enter me in your contest.
i love sunflowers!
I love Moon Flowers, aka Angels' Trumpets. They come in a variety of colors now but when I had the big bushes on white ones, my then 1&1/2 yr. old daughter would point at them & say MOON MOON in an adorable baby banter way. They grew wonderfully in the hot Texas sun until my dearest husband got tired of the roots spreading everywhere, and he TORE THEM OUT! 5 years later, I still refuse to garden. Why cultivate and sow when it will just get torn out?!
{love your blog!}
Hmm, my favorite plant is a rose. milou2ster(at)gmail.com
My favourite plant today (as it changes often lol) is the Snow Drop! Snow Drops are everywhere around me and they are clean, green and beautiful!
Thanks

i like pussy willows thanks for the giveaway
I love lilacs and have been meaning to get one planted at this house.
Mm. I love me some gardenias.
My favorite plants would be Tiger Lilies. I remember when I first came back to NY seeing these majestic flowers growing along side the back roads. At first I thought someone had just planted them haphazardly along their property. I soon discovered they bloomed in abandon all over the countryside. Today I have them growing in abundance in numerous gardens of my own.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter! Indigo

I discovered this year that Hyacinth is my favorite. It has a nice scent and it grew back without my having to do anything at all.
I love pansies with their cute little faces!
I like roses. Enter me please. Thanks!

I would love a chance to win. :) My favorite is the Japanese cherry blossom, the Sakura. They have lovely flowers, a delicate smell, and a wonderful myth behind their color.

My favorite plant is definitely the lilac - my favorite scent. Thanks for the giveaway
No need to enter me, but I just want to tell you how much I enjoyed reading your blog!
My favorite plant is the calla lily - it takes a lot of work to grow it where I live, but it's so beautiful it's worth the effort. asthenight at gmail dot com
I love brown eyed Susan's!!!!
Thanks so much,

I love Peonies and Cornflowers! Your blog is great!
I love daffodils. They're the first spring flower we see around here and they're always so bright & sunny. Makes me smile. I used to pick them for my mom when I was a little girl...now my niece does the same thing. :0)
Thanks!

The park in my hometown has a beautiful weeping willow--I love the way the branches form a half-hidden alcove in the middle of the park.
picking my favorite plant is so hard...I love watching the tulips, daffodils and crocus peeking through the ground in the spring, but my favorite would have to be the Stargazer Lily. My Great Aunt Emily grew them at her house and she was one of my absolute favorite people in the world and died at the age of 96. So, now I have them in my garden and when I smell them, I instantly think of her.

I'm a big fan of stargazer lilies, but I also really like daisies. And when I look outside right now, I'm kind of loving our flowering plum tree. It's so pretty.

Lavender is my favorite, both the color and the scent are beautiful.
I love Daisies and Sweet Peas.
I love peach trees.
I love calla lillies and hydrangeas! In fact, I had both of them in my bridal bouquet when I got married!
Thanks for doing this giveaway-- the book looks great!
I have heard no buzz about this book at all, despite your great review and the really beautiful cover.
One of my favorites, I'd have to say, is the Venus fly trap. So entertaining compared to most other plants which do nothing to sing for their supper.
I love the orchid too.

Honestly...I cannot hear or read the word "shrubbery" without hearing it in an English accent. :) And my favorite plant is lavender. It is a lovely color and has such a soft aroma. I have always wanted to have some lavender growing in the yard, but I saw a film where lavender caused scorpions to come about so I nixed that idea. :) Thank you for the great giveaway. Love chick lit. :)

Please enter me in the contest. My favorite plant is the humble hosta... the only plant that I don't manage to kill.

Love the Monty Python reference! Here's a type of ornamental shrubbery, which is also a great Scrabble word - QAT, that's right, no U !
My favorite plant this time of year has to be the crocus, a sure sign of spring when it emerges!
dawn [at] sheistoofondofbooks [dot] com
My favorite plant would have to be a cactus. It's the only plant my black thumb hasn't killed.
I love french thyme. It is great in an omelette.
I love lilac bushes, although they are only beautiful for a few weeks a year, they are what makes spring for me, with their heavy fragrance and over-abundance of blooms. I'm living too far south for lilacs (although I'm tempted to try) and I miss them.
Please enter me in your drawing! kay.hardtmann@gmx.de
My favorite plant (I have a lot of choices actually!) are cannas as they remind me of my grandparents who used to grow them every year on their land.
