    Glad to hear that Luke. I think the first part of a plants growth isn't always what we are anticipating. I have a few hanging baskets in my greenhouse and they really aren't looking like I want them to. Very disappointing :( So I truly understand.

    For the most part I can accept most flowers but when fungi start growing they can look very ugly.

    The flowers look like someones imagination took over in art class to me. They are so boldly striped that they almost don't look real.

    @adam.ca, How could I have forgotten the Dandelion? At least it has a nice yellow color.
