My Favorite Flower is About to Bloom

My very favorite flower is about to burst out of these pretty buds and bloom. Love the flower in bud....love the flower in bloom. I bought six plants and they were planted a few years ago, when I saw them on Lona's blog  http://lonadawn7.blogspot.com/ I visit her whenever she posts something. I have learned so much from this lady...her flower gardens are to die for.

I'm a little different than many gardeners, I love simple blooms. Just small blossoms with single petals. I like roses and other fancy flowers, but I love the smaller ones. I always gravitate toward small flowers, orchids is a good example. The smaller the better for me. The lilies....as I showed my Blackberry Lily just a couple of days ago...my favorite lily. A single buttercup...not the double blossomed one. The flower that is my favorite fits the bill. I have them in shades of pink and white. The first couple of years, I didn't think that they would survive. This year, all of a sudden....there they are front and center. They are starting to spread. They love the shady herb garden. Their leaves are pretty big this year. I can't wait for them to pop open. 
What is my favorite flower?
