Polly, when you mentioned not being too crazy about Mums it got me to thinking about how many times I've gone years paying no particular attention to a plant species, just was never that wowed by them, but would for some reason decide to grow some. So often I'll find myself a few years later being an all out fan of said plant! May just be because I'm such a plant pig and flower freak, LOL. Till just a few years ago, I had no use for Pelargoniums (tender Geraniums) whatsoever- they just looked common to me and I never cared much for the smell of them. Now I've got several in pots that liven up parts of the garden needing color, and come inside to grow as houseplants through winter, and enjoy them so much. I amuse myself with my changing tastes as I get older, LOL. Do you find yourself revisiting plants you've never cared for, and then find yourself really liking them?
