Have noticed some of the lakes are filling with grass cuttings. Is there a service that comes around and cleans this stuff out?

[graciegirl]

Do you mean some kind of plant growing in them? I don't think anyone dumps grass cuttings in the water here.

I think it is the cuttings from normal grounds maintenance that gets blown into the retention ponds. They will come around with a boat and skim them to to clean them up.

I'm just curious DickY, do you know how often they skim the retention ponds?

More likely what you are seeing is submerged pond vegetation that gets abundant at this time of the year. If it's choking a lake they will send out a harvesting boat to clean it up.

One more question, have noticed some fake flowers in the gardens here and there - are they allowed?

am sure that there is no restriction on that sort of thing; one cannot legislate good taste however!

Curious where you have seen this?

[Debfrommaine]

They are in "flower" beds in a yard.

And what is the problem with fake flowers in the flower beds?

Depends on the area. Historical has lots of interesting properties. There are different covenants for different Villages.

I hope Community Watch is too busy with important stuff to monitor flower beds.

I still do not understand why it matters. Can someone please explain to me what is wrong with fake flowers?

My curious mind wants to know.

Nothing wrong with fake flowers. Everything has a place. However if Debfrommaine can spot the fake flowers from the street, I'd say they probably don't blend in with the ambiance. Just a guess.

I think that the trouble with fake flowers here in this lush tropical setting is that natural flowers grow so easily and with abundance that the fake ones just kinda look............obvious and....uh....fake.

And apparently they aren't allowed.
