Default Flowers

I fully understand the challenges of finding flowers that can withstand the heat. Based on the condition of the coleus, they clearly have not held up well. I am not suggesting that residents choose the flowers because I think the flower choice in the past was quite beautiful. In the 8 week Resident Academy we attended, they said the flowers were changed 4 times a year. My wish is that they would return to the previous plan of planting flowers in the islands and common areas. To me...that was much more pleasing and they seemed to hold up better than the coleus. A drive up and down Morse and Buena Vista, taking note of the faded, wilted coleus is not as attractive as the flowers were.
FYI, the Landscape Manager is out of the office until next week.
