Urglers,

Having just writ about a tittering of magpies, I thought it about time we
all tried to give an amusing collective noun for something to do with
gardening.

Examples :- the collective noun for weeds; a "backbreaking" of weeds. A
"snot" of slugs perhaps!

We all know of a "pride" of lions, but what about dandylions?

Now you have a go!

Regards

Geoff

A drat of dandelions, a slick of slugs, a woe of weeds, a misery of magpies,
a raucous of rooks......

A shame of dandylions.

A Dimmock of water features.

A perfume of roses.

An annoyance of cats...

A pride-in-their-appearance.
A rich vain.

Hello, HDV! Fancy bumping into you here.

An orchestra of violas.
A presumption of Livingstone daisies.
A shock of fuchsias (think Alvin Toffler).
A surplus of stock.
