Plant or Flower called Karen?

HopeElizzy

Hi
I wonder if any of you can help?
Does anyone know whether I can get a plant or flower called Karen? I've done an internet search but haven't come up with anything.
My friend has just passed away and I wanted to get something to remember her by. She loved her garden and so I thought I'd get her DH and myself something to plant in our gardens. I hate funeral flowers - they look beautiful on the day but my friend loved to watch things grow not die away.

Thank You for any help you have.

Hi HopeElizzy.

So sorry to hear about your friends passing and I think its a lovely idea to plant something in her memory. Ive had a quick look on the RHS page and the results of all plants listed with Karen in their name is listed HERE

Hope theres something there that suits.

:AI am so pleased to have found this beautiful Iris called Karen I thought I'd just share. The RHS plant finder was really good and gave links to the nurseries where the plants could be found.



Now, does anyone have any tips for looking after Iris'?

OP so sorry to hear of your loss - it really stuck a chord.

My name is Karen too, and I really like the idea of a plant called Karen - I love my garden too you see. A rose would be great.

Have you thought of what your freinds favourite plant was and her favourite colour? Maybe there is an option there too.

This Karen love reds and deep pinks, and tall majestic flowers - something bold that can be seen. Canna (Lillies - I love these) aren't Karen but it is near as dammit - and Red Lucifer is not me but would describe my temper!!!!! There is a thought!! Unforgettable...
