It sure does take all kinds. And I hear you about growing up not liking pink. Me too! But when it came to the garden, well, Mother Natures pinks were all its own. In fact, I never really thought of it like you had, until you mentioned it here.
It's the same way I feel about red geraniums I guess. Lol.
To each their own garden indeed. And I am sure I would find beauty in your garden, just as I do my own.
