Do you have plants growing in pots or in your gardens that you love to hate? or hate to love? I do...

One that I love is the blackberry lily (belamcanda chinensis). It has pretty iris like foilage and beautiful delicate flowers. Its blackberry like seed pods offer interest late into the year. But in the morning, the flower pods resist opening until I leave for work. When I get home in the evening, they must yell, "here she comes, close up ~ quick!" I rarely get to catch a bloom and I hate that!
