Yes! Especially red/blue/yellow combinations!

I also really don't like variegated leaved plants, especially variegated
with yellow or bright green, with cerise or purple or pink flowers - or
almost with any flowers except white ones.

Spotted laurel

Any shrubby Potentilla, any Hypericum apart from 'Rowallane', shrubby
Cotoneasters (esp. and including horizontalis and the myriad,
desperately dull forms of microphyllus), hybrid tea roses and Salix
caprea 'Pendula' (Kilmarnock willow). Oh and I forgot, add to this,
large exhibition type Dahlias & Chrysanths and the big flowered (Edna
Everage type!) gladioli.


Forsythia, bizzy lizzies, annual salvias, Calceolarias, 'cute' garden
ornaments, ditto the Chrysanths and EE glads, (though I have a fondness for
some Dahlias) Cupressus leylandii, not mad about marigolds, monkey puzzle
trees.
