Your top 3

I’m being very nosy again! You’ll never guess why   
So what are your top 3 flowering plants? Why those ? Are they shrub, climber, annual, perennial? What size? How fast does it grow? How much care is needed? What conditions does it seem to like? 

I know I’ve done a similar thread a while ago “how do you choose “. The more I ask, the more you lot will teach me about plants. I need to learn fairly quickly. I’ve got a lot of ground to fill   . 

My top 3 
Lupin - I like these because lots of different colours, big bold shaped leaves & flower spikes. Perennial. Very little care needed. 
Sweet pea -I like these because lots of colours, beautifully scented. Annual. They seem quite happy just to do there own thing for the summer. 
Snapdragon -I like these because of childhood memories. lots of colours & sizes of these. Annual/ perennial? Some come back, some don’t . They seem happy they grow ( you see, I can’t answer my own questions properly    ). 
Think I’ve just worked out , I quite like not knowing what colour the flowers are until they open     .
