    verbascum thapsus "great mullein" is my favourite followed by gunnera...its a matter of taste really as everyone seems to have different gardening tastes and themes..I like usefull plants and mullein is certainly one of those..

    Adenium, I 've been trying for a while now from seed, no luck so far.
    It germinates but dies very quickly, I've found up to now.

    If I had to choose the most beautiful flower it would probably be this, though there are so many others almost as good.

    Not the most beautiful plant, and certainly not the best plant - but that flower is just mmmmmmm
