I'm a weirdo.
One of my fears is ugly plants. Ones that look like they're going to "get" me.
My friend thinks it's a riot because if we happen to pass one of these gross plants, she has to rub my back to get the heebie-jeebie feeling to go away. It makes me shiver. It's like I can feel the plant crawling right up my back toward my neck and even now I'm getting the heebies just thinking about it.
So plants that scare me are:
Cockscomb celosia (looks like a brain on a stem)
Avellana Contorta (Twisted Hazelnut) AKA "Harry Lauder's Walking Stick"- it's a tree with gnarly twisted branches.
Various forms of cactus: Brain cactus, Monstrosa Cristata (Crested Monster) and "Boxing Glove Cactus."
I'm not big on Joshua Trees either.

Ugly Plants That Creep Me Out!
There are plants that give me the creeps also. I loathe anything furry. Like, Lambs ears. And places I work have it growing everywhere. I also hate the indoor house plants that seem to grow right in front of your eyes. Like wandering jew.

Yes, I sometimes feel that way about some of the fuzzy plants too. And don't even get me started on vine tendrils and the insides of spaghetti squash and pumpkins!! EWW!
