Difficult choice - I could say snowdrops because they give the first sign that my garden is recovering from even the severest winters, but it has to be Iris Sibirica 'Silver Edge' because it's worth waiting for and is just so elegant and the most perfect blue.

Knautia macedonica - that lovely summer perennial with deep maroon flowers - it goes with absolutely everything!

...it depends what I'm looking at!! I have favourites for different times of year. However, Fuchsias are lovely, and Salvias and Lobelia tupa.

I love my Erythroniums ('Pagoda') in spring, Fuchsias in summer, Cyclamen hederifolium in autumn and snowdrops in winter....
Sorry, we can't add photos in our answers.

Of the plants that I would love to be able to grow, that's easy - Strongylodon macrobotrys........

Oh dear, I'm having trouble here - first on the list is Cotinus coggrygia 'Royal Purple' for its wonderful leaves during summer, and the blanket stitch effect on the edges as they autumn. But vying with it is Pieris 'variegata', because it looks good year round.
I have other massive favourites - but in combination.
