If you look closely you will notice that in many areas of The Villages the size of the beds where flowers have been planted for many years has been reduced . This began about 1 year ago .
As you drive along BV , Morris and other major roads you will notice that many areas where flowers were regularly featured are not any more . Instead , ornamental grasses and other plants now occupy those beds .
Now it appears that the flowers will be reduced in other ways by the introduction of the Coleus plants .
Also there are many areas where the plantings were killed by the first last year and early this year which are now barren .
It is beginning to appear that the very vocal minority who complained about the cost of the flowers have won out .
