    I would just ignore such an ignorant person. Show the flower pictures to your Aunt and let her enjoy them. Maybe after a bit of being left out of the laughter and fun, she might come around and decide to join in?

    Sis said she doesn't know why they come together. But Aunt can't garden that much. And she said I hope you brought pictures. Showed us on ladders painting.And had pictures of roofing 2 years a go. Sis's family helped do that.

    That poor woman! She missed out on seeing some great photos of your lovely gardens and flowers; she made a braying animal of herself; and I bet your aunt will invite someone else to take the 30 mile drive with her next time.
    Feel free to post as many photos as you want here on the Stew--we love to see pictures, especially pretty ones!

    Well I can hardly believe that there's actually someone out there who doesn't like flowers. What a sad life that lady must lead.

    You would be surprised how many people don't like to garden-because of the work.Or don't have the time. I take care of 2 of my customer's garden. And I love doing it.Good exercise+++ I get paid for doing it.
    I should have taken lot of pictures. But was busy painting and working+ and trying to keep the weeds down. ++++

    I have to ask: has this lady ever heard about manners? Ok, she's not interested in flowers, but at least she could keep quiet about it while the aunt enjoyed the photos.
