I like Tulips. 
We have some very pretty tulips. Maybe I'll take a pic-cha later. Not now though. It has been raining, and they are all closed up right now. April showers bring may flowers. The flowers are already here, but perhaps all of these April showers will bring more flowers in may? I didn't capitalize "may" it wasn't deliberate. I've got an Iris. It's a Dutch Iris. I'm growing it, but it hasn't done much in a while. It isn't big enough to flower yet either. I also have two green irises in my eye balls. I think I like tulips the best.

I adore any type of iris but they don't stick around long enough unfortunately....only two to three weeks.
I love clematis and rhododendrons too but have to say English roses are probably my favorite. They bloom all summer up until frost.
Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Roses definitely my favorites.

I know, and that sucks big time!
I've also got an absolutely gorgeous, enormous hibiscus in my yard (well, obviously not blooming, or even showing any signs of life at this time).
I forgot... I also love crocus. When I see the first crocus in the spring, I just go nuts.

I'm pretty sure they can be grown in Zones 3 and above and Utah is mostly 5 - 6 I believe. They're fairly easy to grow and come in a multitude of pastels and vibrant purples and blues.
Lisianthus are one of my favorite cut flowers but I haven't been too successful growing them yet. I'm going to keep trying.

Now just tell me they're perennials, please.

Yes, they are. I generally don't mess with annuals unless they're for baskets or pots. Too much trouble.Here's a nice link that tells you a bit about them and also has purdy pictures.
You should be able to find delphiniums at your local garden centers though.Delphiniums from Graceful Gardens

We have Trilliums in Oregon....always a nice surprise to come across one in the forest.Trillium, although I won't be able to grow it in my garden in Colorado. Even in NY it grows wild in the woods in early Spring.

That makes sense that they like Oregon, cool moist woodsy area.

Well so much for trying to grow them here in the desert then. If it weren't for all the rain, I would just love to live in Oregon. There is absolutely no where on earth like the Oregon coast, IMO. I guess that's 'cause of the rain, though, huh?

There is absolutely no place like Oregon from late June all the way through September. Really. It's beautiful without being humid and the sunny days are without end. Rick and I have it figured out to leave the state from after Christmas until it's time to start our garden in May. We're trying to work that out.

Yup, the rain is great for gardens. I really struggle trying to garden here in the high plains desert. Annuals, forget it, and if it's not the dryness the deer munch down everything else. I planted about 200 bulbs in the fall and the deer have so far eaten every sprout before it bloomed.
Well, it's more my wife's garden than mine. Plants hate me. Flowers would rather die than be handled by me. I stick to mowing the lawn.
That being said, I really like our hollyhocks. Ours get huge (probably 8 feet tall or more - well over my head) and aren't too common around here, so they look really distinctive when they're in full bloom.
These aren't ours, but they look kinda similar. Just imagine taller with more flowers:

Oh that stinks!I planted about 200 bulbs in the fall and the deer have so far eaten every sprout before it bloomed.
There are granular deterrents to keep deer away that you sprinkle in your garden.
