I too have been a plant snob. For a while i detested
Agapanthus........i thought it was common and coarse......but i have
changed. Ive seen how pretty it can be in summer ( when most plants in
peoples gardens are done blooming.) Mine are starting to bloom. 
   however im starting to like plants i too have snubbed. Like
Nasturtiums. What changed my mind is how easy to grow they are, and how
big the plants can get. The foliage is nice, and in my neighborhood im
the only one with these plants :). Another thing is it will quickly
cover up this bare sandy berm i have in my yard :), and they come back
without having to buy new seeds ( even though seeds are cheap). Im
trying something a little different. I planted some free gladioulus
bulbs i got in the mail ( i know theyre probably not the best but the
bulbs looked just fine), and the naturtiums will grow amongst the
gladioulus'.
