Which flowers don't you like?

[taffetacat]

.........I don't like:

Lilies, Amaranthus, Busy Lizzies, Astilbes , Fuchsia, Kniphofia, Nectaroscordum, Echinacea.......

Don't know why......

Dead ones.

I love fuchsias.

Never met a geranium I liked. Not mad keen on primroses or pansies either.

The ones I spend loads of money on trying to grow that subsequently die. Grrrr....

chrysans

Yuk yuk yuk

Not big on roses, particularly not red Valentine's day style ones.

yyy (or should that be nnn) to astilbes. For some reason I can't explain, I really loathe them. Even though they'd probably do very well in my damp clay garden. Not keen on kniphofia either.

I'm not keen on double anything, especially double snowdrops and double hollyhocks. The singles I adore.

midnightexpress - With you on the doubles business. They have murdered Cosmos this year I notice with a double white one.

wall flowers, red hot pokers.

Roses. I know, I'm a freak. When flowering they are ok, but the rest of the year they are horrible and woody. And ear-wigs lurk inside them. yuk.

I've always hated marigolds. Don't like orange flowers in general. Just don't like orange.

Oh, also really hate daffodils - they always remind me of being cold

carnations, geraniums, crysanths (sp?)

I don't like the orangey red geraniums with leaves that smell of wee.

I love the perennial blue ones though.

I think the reason I hate hate hate astilbes is that they look fake. And possibly they remind me of my the pampas grass my parents had in the 70's that I lost my guinea pig in.

Also don't like Astilbes, Red Hot Pokers, Carnations, Marigolds, orange/red wallflowers, yello Sunflowers...

Freesias. Can't bear them.

Pannacotta, we are no longer garden soul-mates. I like all of the above except astilbes, and I've seen them planted well too . But I bet even you would like this -

an absolute stunner for a hard working plant, elegant evergreen foliage in neat balls all through the year, and putting out these wonderful sweet scented deep red flowers. Very elegant.

I like Freesias GrendelsMum - lovely scent - also like the photo you linked to, look like Pinks?

Gutted we are no longer garden soul mates, but will get over it, in time...

Yellow ones. Just don't like yellow flowers!

Geraniums!!!!!! I can't stand them, they bring me out in rage, ha ha! Damn things are cheap too and so always all over the place, parks, road sides, garden centres, my mum's house! Raaa! :P

I also dislike lupins as they only look good for about a week!

Just thought of another. Iris. I like the wee ones - reticulata - but really struggle with the normal size and big ones. There were loads in our garden when we first came but there is something................sinister about them. Especially the brown -y ones. Yuk.

I also don't like the massive allium. Love sphaeropholon but the giant ones the size of a small child - yuk.

taffetacat: I'm not too keen either, they look like something from day of the triffids! bom bom bom! hides

Lilies - the smell overpowers everything ! Yuk.

hyacinths

they make me faint, have no idea why

ooooooh yeah I forgot about those things foxinsocks! They make me heady too, and can bring on a migraine! We should start a war against them :P

Gladioli and marigolds

I don't like carnations....they remind me of old people's homes.

No, I adore hyacinths! I can't believe you don't like them. I just love watching them push themselves up through the soil - they seem to do it in a totally different way to other bulbs, so that you can see the flowerhead right from the start, rather than the flowerhead being developed after the leaves and stem have grown.
