    I have to agree with David....their ain't no plants I dislike.:thumb:

    Mind you, there are some I do not wish to have in my garden, but that's a completely different subject.;)

    True spudbristol, hadn't considered them!

    I love forgetmenots - what don't you like about them Paul? (or shouldn't I get you started) :)

    Plan old things that really arent anything special and are often left rampant in so called cottadge gardens to save weeding when the gaps could be filled with more intresting plants

    Forget-me-nots are absolutely gorgeous. My little girl and I go out in the garden looking for them, the faeries use them in their wedding bouquets don`t ya know. It is conclusive evidence for the existence of pixies and fairies as far as she is concerned. I direct sow them every year for her to find new patches.

    I have a leyllandii which is a bats holiday let, and I let my brambles grow a bit around the edge of the garden-I really like their white flowers which are out now.


    I like all plants. And wish my garden was big enough to have them all in it.

    Agreed forget-me-nots are beautiful i always find that the smallest flowers are always under rated take the common weed scarlet pimpernel for instance looking closer how could any one describe this as a weed?;)

    I found it under my rhododendron this spring.


    Little flowers are a wonderful find. Reminds me who it is in actual charge of my garden-not me.

    I agree with David, most all plants I like, weeds and all - bar two. Ground elder and field bindweed - both pretty plants but not in my garden :mad:

    It may be controversial But I loathe buddleias. Next door has several but they keep coming through the fence and they never do anything with them.
