Atropa belladonna Has a long and violent history; it’s thought to have been used by the original Macbeth to poison Duncan’s troops.
As a keen uphill gardener I disagree on columbine/granny bonnet: they look good when they are in flower but most of the year look like a scruffy weed. Similar to the forget-me-not. I tend to dig most of them out, just leave a few. I like a hosta: please log in to view this image
I like the columbine because I saw them growing wild in meadows in the Rockies during a horse riding holiday. Carpet of purple/blue and white flowers looked impressive. I like a peony which are often the subject in traditional Japanese tattoos but if they are not done right it looks like a cabbage. Part of my half-leg tattoo has a chrysanthemum, very common in jap tats.
