Conversely, also a mistake to ask him what he thinks of something I'm particularly proud of....
For years I was not allowed to grow Dahlias. I persevered, starting out with a sneaky Bishop of Llandalf, then stealthily introduced a few more this year. Turns out the offending plants were actually Chrysanthemums 🙄

Use latin or common name as appropriate (e.g. never call a Hemerocallis a Day Lilly, never call a Kniphofia a Red Hot Poker).
