What plant do you admire, while simultaneously recognising it's *way* beyond your skills to grow?

Orchids

Oof…I second this.

Himalayan blue poppy. Delphinium from seed . Not beyond my skill , yet frustratingly just out of reach , with success!

Triffid 😉

My apologies to every single infuriating member of the peperomia family. Sorry about murdering you all.

All of them. Blind luck is my weapon.

Swede ..and I'm surrounded by fields of them so it's definitely me !!

Meconopsis. No success with seed stratification. 😔

Okra

While beautiful, it was only like 6 inches tall.

Beets, carrots and leeks. All failed last year. Don’t know why. But I’m rooting for them this year. Never give up!

Gardenia.

Lisianthus

I know which plant I would love to be unable to grow - bindweed! 😂🙄

I seem to be the only person in the US Midwest who can't grow zucchini (courgettes) 🤷‍♀️

Me either!

Ok, I don't feel so alone. lol.

Roses are a struggle here due to climate and insect and fungal attacks. I still love them even though they are difficult.
