I was going to say Fuchsia, but Gardener's got there before me, so I'll go for something a tad different, an ornimental Hop - 'Golden Tassels'.

Re: what would you show !!!

Well as my own favourite flower, I'm sticking with Fuchsia. There are so many different varieties that I couldn't be more specific and since I find them all so beautiful I wouldn't want to.

I'd go for a Rhododendron or maybe a evergreen Azalea 'cos I couldn't grow and show my Japanese Flowering Cherry, (Prunus Shogetsu, syn. Shimidsu) which we have in our garden.

It's fully grown now after 20 years and it's takes your breath away when it's in flower!

I think I've got a photo in my album here.

The Rhodies flower afterwards and are my second-favourite flowering plant/shrub/tree. stevmk2

My choice would be a pink and white hibiscus, I have one growing in my garden which produces beautiful flowers one after another.
