If forced to choose one blooming plant, would it be something that is almost always blooming, or something that blooms rarely or for a very short time each year for the excitement of the rarity of the bloom?

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The 2nd best time is now. (-Unknown)

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
I don't think I could decide either. When picking container plants for the outdoors, it's almost 100% nonstop blooming flowers, so I think I would favor that if I really had to choose just one.
It's fun to anticipate something thrilling, but repeat bloomers often get my vote when I'm picking daylilies, irises, or roses. It's hard to find perennials that really bloom nonstop, but I want to have some color in my garden all the time, and that's in part why I plant annuals also, especially in containers.
I do have to say that when I first got some autumn re-blooming azaleas I was thrilled, thought I would never again get any other kind. But 20 years later, I still have not gotten used to seeing azalea blooms "out of season!"

Well....
Down south, in my droughty sand... lantana... four O'clock... canna... salvia
Annuals like cypress vine for the hummingbirds... And zinnia for the butterflies...

The ultimate unanswerable question?
Id probably go with more blooms if I really had to choose.
As it is, I question my futile efforts with plumeria, and this year even the pink Epi hybrid failed me. Granted these two examples are not all that attractive aaide from the flowers.
Then again, again, I have fave plants that never flower. I just want too many plants.

LOL! Amusing answers. I knew this crowd would choose to not make this choice!

I struggle with this when trying to decide on just a few plants in the face of full displays of tons of different plants. Struggle, struggle.
