RL, Sarz & CV, I agree, I hate hydrangeas. Goes back to an awful holiday I had when I was a child. Supposed to be a holiday with my dad in attendance (rare as he was a doctor and didn't often go with us). We were in this very posh hotel in Newquay, it rained all week and we had absolutely nothing to do. We spent most of it walking about in the rain as the sight of us children seemed to offend the other hotel guests even though we were very well-behaved.

The hotel and all of Newquay seemed to be full of damp hydrangeas.

I also dislike hydrangeas. One of our Britain in Bloom committee got a job lot of - shall I say - inexpensive - ones. The flooding came. I hoped they were drowned. Sadly, the one on the flower bed I'm responsible for seems to have risen from the dead - new shoots in abumdance. My heart soared when I saw the blackened leaves in July - Aren't I awful?

GERANIUMS - I can't bear them and when I see them have the urge to stamp all over them. Need therapy maybe?????

All the cloth & plastic ones used in shopping centres & pubs etc!
They have no scent!

Hydrangeas for me too - they always look so tatty! And can't make their mind up sometimes whether to be pink or blue. Problem is my Nana had one right outside her front door and I'd hate to think that was her favourite flower - sorry Nana!

...................... and I can definitely live without most grasses, dont see the point of them really other than in the lawn !

I have always hankered for a bed of different coloured grasses! As well as all the shades of green you can get black, blue, yellow, variagated etc. What with all the different sizes and habit's of growth and even there different flowering inflorecences I think an ornamental grass bed would look great

Each to there own I suppose!

The ones in bunches in supermarkets.They look unnatural and the growing of them is very eco-unfriendly!
