I think the world definitely needs more singed red Begonia
semperflorens.
Actually, they are doing masses of obnoxious perennials up here in
Seattle, the favorite tends to be a big rampant hypericum. Almost put
me off Hypericums for ever.
Now they are taking nicer plants and massing them and making them
tiresome. I loved Winter daphne when I came here, but mass plantings of
them, in full sun on hot rocks? Or trying to breathe while walking
through a garden that has 300 Sarcococcas in it... 500 Hellebores in
block formation? I think there are certain plants that landscape
architcts should not be allowed to buy. ;)
