I wonder if there's ever been a psychoanalysis of which plants/types
of garden you like and whether this reveals a lot about your own
personality?

I find yellow and orange plants disconcerting, love cottagey plants
but tropical stuff never appeals.

:-)) I think it was Hardy Amies (Queen's dressmaker) who said that
orange in roses was vulgar. I love orangey coloured Calendulas but am
not fond of orange roses.

OH !!
They can be OK :

And I don't like tropical looking plants in
temperate gardens but would if I lived in the tropics.

Are not all tropical gardens tropical purely by being where they are ?
