I ordered a pampas grass to go by the side of my pond, and I don't care. Anyone else knowingly sticking 2 fingers up at horti-couture?

    Haha.. I have a feeling that pampas grass is going to be sticking a few fingers up at you after a few years there.   :D;)

    I feel there is probably a logical reason behind many of the "horti-couture".  Not that they should be followed, the pleasure in gardening is testing and trial (and success!).

    Don't blame us when you get the swingers knocking on your door :*

    I've been quite enjoying building a rockery recently but apparently they're coming back into fashion too.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I love sticking two fingers up at haughty-culture. Ars Botanica! That's what I say.

    If I like it I plant it.  If I hate it, I don't.

    I understand that chrysanthemums are deeply unfashionable, but unfortunately I don't like them anyway -part from the smell.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I'm a dandelion lover. They're one of my favourite plants.

    Pampas grass will have its day again... then you will be ready lol! Who knew flares would make a come back but they did! I actually like the foliage, it’s the flowers that I don’t like.. same reason I don’t like astilbe, it’s a shape thing for me, I said a while back I might grow it and just cut of the flowers! Anyway ‘stick it to the man’ if you love it, grow it!
