(I grew some of those as a kid. Also begonias, spider plants and fuschias then I built up a collection of cacti and succulents etc)
My favourite plant at the moment is my Gunnera manicata - which looks like a huge prehistoric rhubarb. It has just put some new shoots up - it dies back every Winter, but will soon be 6 feet high. The leaves are the size of umbrellas.
The next person prefers sitting on grass rather than mowing it.
