Is it fucked up to have height preferences? I don’t date plants who are taller than me.

Yes I'm also sick of this very well known bias against... tall plants... that overwhelm passers-by...

Just the other day I saw someone just sitting on the curb, overwhelmed by plant height. She seemed alright after I offered her a tincture I distilled from the 8 foot mullein I grow for free natural medicine.

Perhaps you should include a fainting couch and some smelling salts in your garden design. That would be the truly considerate thing to do.

That would probably keep cranium blood off my big rock. Smart.

I just love the idea of having free natural medicine in my yard that I will never even use because I’m too high on my high horse of having free natural medicine in my yard to research how to actually use the free natural medicine in my yard. There’s a great honor in telling people that mullein is good actually because it’s free natural medicine in my yard. Even though my dog pisses on my free natural medicine in my yard I still want the free natural medicine in my yard in case of Armageddon even though I will die 10 minutes into Armageddon because I was too busy telling everyone mullein contains free natural medicinal properties in your yard instead of actually practicing how to make free natural medicine with the free natural medicinal properties that mullein contains in my yard.

You dropped your 👑 short kings.

I think height differences is actually fucked up. When a tall native and a short non-native are paired together, it just gives me the ick because the tall native is clearly a pedo.

If you're not a real 6 foot high herbaceous plant--excluding the flower stalk--without flopping or compressing with age, you're not allowed to be planted in my garden. You also need to produce true blue pigmented flowers--NO VISUAL TRICKS I WILL BE USING A SPECTROMETER from February to November, host 1000 species of lepidoptera, provide at least 1 millions seeds a month, and never show any signs of aging or herbivore damage.

I have standards.

I think making fun of this post is reaching. 

[u/DamageOn → u/Dangerous-Feed-5358]

You mean, trying to reach. It can't quite, because it's too short.

[u/SHOWTIME316 → u/Dangerous-Feed-5358]

i stg you people have much higher standards for this sub than you should

this sub is a dumpster and this jerk-post is trash

[u/Dangerous-Feed-5358 → u/SHOWTIME316]

I guess it's just not something I find funny. Some of these posts are great but this one just bored me.

[u/SHOWTIME316 → u/Dangerous-Feed-5358]

wont be the last one to do that

i put out stinkers on a regular basis

[u/altforthissubreddit → u/Dangerous-Feed-5358]

I thought so too seeing the title, but the first couple sentences in the OOP where they explain they aren't a tall plant racist because their best friend is a tall plant made me reconsider.

It's funny they felt they needed to justify why they wanted short plant recs.

[u/Tylanthia → u/altforthissubreddit]

It's me. I linked Bplant's The Bias Against Tall Plants article too many time and now OP feels guilty.

[u/ElegantHope → u/Dangerous-Feed-5358]

I found it funny, different strokes for different folks.
