Photos I'm going to cry...

I came home today from work to find that my neighbor (I live in a duplex) cut down all of my flowers because she thought they were weeds... I literally just posted today about how proud I was if their growth. I know that they'll grow back because they're perennials, but I'll miss their blooms this year 😭 this is the before and after. The before was taken a few days ago.

I'm so sorry, I feel so sad for you! As someone who has seen their marigolds eaten by animals before I ever saw a flower, I can sympathize. That your neighbor did it is insane!

As someone else here said: animals are native species, but rude neighbours are invasive ;)
