Nope...never met a plant I didn't like. ;-)

Are you ready for the confession of a gardening professional? I do not like petunias. Shhh. Don't tell anyone. They look great when they're at their peak, but they tend to require too much pinching and primping during their season of vigorous flower. Also, growing thousands of the little devils in a greenhouse is a (literally) sticky business. When it's time to pinch back the petunias, everybody suddenly becomes very busy at some really important task. They stick to you and leave your fingers gummy. Nasty. So there.

Howdy.
Yeah, I'm not crazy about CLEMATIS; they look like plastic, fake flowers to me.
And CLEOME, a tall spikey plant with big fluffy flower heads, just look goofy to me--like they are from another planet or something. The ones we had growing in our garden at home always had a lot of bees in them which added to their "charm". If you've ever seen "Little Shop of Horrors" it reminds me of the plant that turned nasty in that film but not nearly as humorous.
Thanks for letting me VENT!

Yes, on a bull nettle. Here in Texas there is a nettle plant with beautiful little while flowers on it, but it you touch any part of the leaves, you will wish you hadn't. It is very painfull. We have to warn the out-of-staters all the time about them when they are in bloom.

Yes;
Morning Glory : because it is a house eater
Rosemary : because I don't like the fragrance
There must be more. I just can't think of them. But I do enjoy most flowers :-)

I hate petunias. Pain in the butt flowers! Hmmm....well I like most other plants. Not very fond of cacti, but that is just a personal preferance.

I live in Oregon and the lazy landscaper's answer to a boring yard are Rhododendrons...and MORE Rhododendrons.
I hate them. I hate them. I hate them.
We yanked them out of our yard this winter and gave them away - they were 6' tall and would have been about $250 at a nursery.

Well, yes. I planted some dahlias last year, and I don't like them. I don't know why not... they bloom nicely, etc. But I don't like them.
I like old-fashioned petunias with that nice fragrance, but not most petunias.
I don't like impatiens. I don't like azaleas much, anymore, except for natives.
