Why do you like this plant and not that one?

I am curious, what attracts one to a particular plant?
For me it is about my past experiences and about romance. For instance I love tall Rudbeckia after we found a hidden lake on the Broads where white swans rear their signets which was surrounded by these yellow beauties. I love Rhododedrons after spending my early career in Victorian Asylums. Many of the plants my father (now 93) and my grandfather grew, I now go into a spin of love about - Dorothy Perkins is in my heart, I grow snap dragons because my grandfather did, and carnations and pinks - which remind me of the Victorian sensibilities. I can still see his waistcoat flapping and his silver pocket watch.
A dandelion head reminds me of the times like these that has past... alas...
For me gardening is about love, close companions and time
