Love Unusual Plants - But is this a step too far?
Re: Love Unusual Plants - But is this a step too far?
I like the unusual, striking looking plant in the right place. Though you wouldn't want a garden full of them. Thumbs up for me.

I have never understood the appeal of hideous plants, just cos no one else has one , probably because they have good taste, what pleasure can you get from looking at an ugly plant?
thats a bit like looking at the pig down the road saying 'who;d marry that?' yet her hubby thinks shes drop dead gorgeous. different people have different tastes.
personally i think its 'different' (the plant, that is) and therefore would grow one in with the spotty dottys etc

I like being a bit different but this is certainly one step too far for me! It really does look like a puddle of puke or a great big lumpy piece of snot.

Vagetarian my sentiments entirely, beauty they say is in the eye of the beholder, must apply to plants also.

Off Topic, but having been away for a while, I didn't realise Mark and Gaz had such a brilliant website. Well marketed and designed. Hats off to them!

Definitely not a looker Kyle and certainly different Unusual/ugly. Apparently 10 photos of the worlds ugliest plants I dunno what it says about my choice of plants but I would gladly grow half of these given the opportunity
