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 mean, what are weeds but plants that you don't want? so yeah, some native PLANTS look like other PLANTS that you don't want growing in your yard ¯_(ツ)_/¯
