The Foxgloves were not even at their peak, and had just been coming into bloom in the last 5 weeks. The purple Kale were not past their period, and the Marigolds were looking so fine. I do not know how expensive it is to replace them, but a lot of money could be saved if one planting were eliminated. Afterall, you and I are paying for this service, so I think that we should have a say in how our fees are spent.

I agree that it seems the flowers are replaced too often. I would like to see some of the money spent on flowers to be used to clean the dead palm leaves.
