Oh man. Elizabeth Licata at Gardening While Intoxicated posed a question in her blog asking readers to name their least favorite plant (to participate, head over to Gardening While Intoxicated and chime in…). Anyway, while I can’t understand how anyone could hate purple coneflower so passionately (as Elizabeth does), to be fair lots of people love all kinds of plants that I’m at best cool towards (witness the mayhem that is Never (Ever) Grow This Plant). The beauty of art is that it is subjective. If we can keep from taking defensive positions and truly listen, our perspectives can be changed in a very positive way. Superb post! Barrie.
