Default Re: If you could grow just three flowers what would they be?

I'd choose medicinal herbs that flower such as:

enchinacea or other coneflowers

calendula

nasturium -- also the blooms are edible


I have grown all the above and the echinacea died out on me for some weird reason so I'm going to replant in a different area as the herb garden I had it in may be too acidic for it.

The calendula and nasturium usually get re-planted every year but I didn't plant them this year and the self-seeding of them never produced anything this year.
