Red spider lily is my favorite because of its blood red hue and symbolism.

    By usefulness: Yarrow, it’s an incredibly useful plant. Helps with bleeding, heartburn, indigestion.

    By looks: Bird of Paradise Flower, lives quite a long time when cut from the plant.

    Scariest: Poison Hemlock, it’s everywhere. And you wouldn’t think much of it.

    Even scarier: Giant Hogweed. It’s like Poison Hemlock, but apocalyptic in size.

    Best smelling: Wax Flower

    Least favorites Limonium, it smells like cat piss. Roses due to thorns, plus if you don’t get them in water ASAP they tend to get air bubbles in the stem that makes the plant die faster. Gebera Daisies; they have a very weak stem. 2inch Carnations, because they break at the nodes

    I used to be a florist and my hobbies involve foraging.
