  • What is wrong with you all!! Start loving these plants and flowers, they all have good points. (You are allowed to love some more than others).
  • You should see the display on the traffic island as you go into Burton-on-Trent. They are always outstanding, and many times I have been tempted to find out who to congratulate.As the display is near a river,there is the double benefit of swans gling within a short distance. So yes, there are wonderful bedding displays. I only wish I had been able to photo them so you could share the pleasure.
  • Should we even love pink daffodils BB? By that rationale we must like every type of flower the plant breeder produces, no matter how garish, unaesthetic or far from the original. Surely we can draw the line at pink, double-petalled daffodils? Please?
  • couch grass ... end of
  • That pink daffodil looks more like a carnation to me! Speaking of which, can't stand those either, horrible, stiff things.
  • i hate bedding salvias - when my children were small they called them salivas which gradually morphed into spit plants - just cant bring my self to grow them
  • Every letter begins with 'I hate...' Why extreme dislike and not love. If you are keen of flowers, it means that you are able to distinguish beauty and love from hate. Every plant is created by God! Nature dictates everything. So we must promote love, not hate! We must plant, plant and plant. This action will save the Earth!
    With love

  • Can someone tell me why the good Lord put Acuba Japonica on this earth?
    Not for my pleaasure.
  • Wow, thanks for all your comments. I'm glad I'm not alone in disliking crocosmia, Tony, and it's good to know that pink, frilly daffs aren't many people's cup of tea either. But it's great that we love and hate different plants, otherwise our gardens would all be the same! Kate
  • I must admit,I do like crocosmia'Lucifer'.
    I also love Roses,but unfortunately,I cannot seem to grow them in my garden.The soil is good loam,with plenty of leaf mould and other such goodys going on it at various times of the year.I also love Weigela 'Bristol Beauty'.
