    I am a plonker.  I see a lovely plant and have to find a place for it. I am not really a designer, although I do try. I am also a rescuer but there are plants I would not buy because they are cheap. Some get Freecycled if I decide I really don't like them. 
    I suspect we get more choosy the longer we garden.

    I'm a potter, plonker and placer 😵.
    Young new plants get potted on into bigger pots, which then get plonked in various places around the garden for the first year.
    Then after much procrastination they finally get placed in a spot I'm happy with 😄.

    I hate to get rid of a healthy plant because it now doesn't fit my panting scheme.
    I have done that a few times in the past. Especially when a new plant that was placed somewhere in my colour scheme did not flower in the right hue of pink/blue/etc. Told you I'm a placer. ;)

    @Papi Jo oh you are cruel and hard.  I'm in the league of trying to save every little seedling......then plonking them all just to see them grow regardless if the colour.  I am trying to be more disciplined with my front garden trying to keep to pinks, whites, purples..........but I have grown 4 lovely healthy geums Mrs. Bradshaw......oh the dilemma

    I have just rescued two small antirrhinum seedlings from a crack in the patio slabs.  
    No hope really.  ;);)

    @Mary370 Not a matter of cruelty at all! Gardening involves choice. Like you I am into white, pink & some blue. I add a few yellows but no orange or coral red. Geum Mrs Bradshaw I've had them in my former garden when I didn't care about colour but they had to go.
