Which flowers do you find the most awkward to handle / care for?
Just wondered which flowers slow you down the most, are tricky to handle or care for? For me I love freesias, but the way the hook to each other and refuse to be parted from a bunch drives me nuts!

love lillies.
Oh yes, lillies and me have a sort of love hate relationship,i love em but the pollen hates me,it's the lillies job in life to make the pollen fur up and go all icky(im sure there's a horticultural word for it)before i get to it and remove it,as vigilant as i am it still smeggs up when my back is turned.
Also lillies more than any other flower cause conflict with contract work,receptionist's are a bunch of whingeing sows,"the smell its dreadful(its called a scent and its gorgeooooous)"its giving me a headache(whaddaya think your giving me?)

Virburnum Opulus is just yummy. I wish it wasn't so branchy though, it's difficult to control, especially in hand-ties!

Damn tulips after today. We used them in a textured ht and a textured posy and the damn things kept breaking no matter how gentle I was.

They join my list of beautiful things that are bitches to deal with, so far including gerberas, lilies and my daughter...

Its got to be snow berries for me, beautiful, and people seem to love them but oh god are they a mushy nightmare at times, dropping berries left right and centre and then, they go all slimy and sticky, perfect to slip over on hey?
