These are all fun. (And general note to commenters, sorry I'm doing these out of order a bit, I'm just doing the ones that come to my mind more easily at the moment, because it's been a long day!)

Flowers: not easy! I love so many flowers! But I'll try to find the current favourites.

1. Roses. Feels cliched, but I can't help it, I just love roses. Especially their scent. I'm also really into roses as flavouring, in tea or pastries or such...
2. Lilacs
3. Trientalis europaea, which apparently is called chickweed wintergreen in English, which is a weird name for such a pretty plant if you ask me. The Finnish (and Swedish) name means "forest star" which I think is much better. They're common in Nordic forests, and I've always adored them.
4. Apple blossom
5. Tulips

(Also in the running: rowan blossoms, lilies, harebells, buttercups, bird cherry blossoms...)

Spaceships! I was kind of hoping someone would ask for this! Fandom in brackets, author in case of books.

1. The TARDIS (Doctor Who)
2. Breq Justice of Toren (Ann Leckie, Ancillary Justice/Imperial Radch
3. The Wayfarer (Becky Chambers, The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet)
4. Mercy of Kalr (Ann Leckie, The Imperial Radch books)
5. The Rumor (The Strange Case of the Starship Iris)

(It wasn't easy, though, there are many wonderful spaceships in fiction. But these are the ones that come to me first now.)

Animals:

1. Dogs
2. Cats
3. Birds (I know that's a broad category, but I just think birds are amazing)
4. Goats
5. Foxes, maybe? Or cows? Or octopuses? It's so hard to choose! And it's not like it's easy to compare those...
