Re: Why Not Replace Your Plants With Styrofoam?

The over use of clippers is not restricted to Santa Barbara. It has spread to the east coast. People addicted to clipping work on the hapless azaleas. Azaleas, if left to their own devices will grow in a beautiful layering pattern. There are folks who just can't allow them to do that. They prune them into giant beach balls, rubix cubes of various sizes and my personal favorite the inverted styrofoam cup.Travel east and bring your camera.
