Well this is just shocking. (But I do love the snow in the photo!) Be sure to update us when the corporate landscaping decides on a suitable replacement. (I'm enjoying the dicentra, skunk cabbages, thimbleberry blossoms and fiddlehead ferns in the woods just east of M-S campus.)
Usually the transitions are smoother. But I always wonder whether any kind of plant amnesty is involved.
I saw an official-looking gardening crew on 40th today, with flats of bright colors....impatiens? Hard to tell.
I'll try to check, but that sounds likely.
And it reminds me of the time I wanted some New Guinea impatiens, and I sent my very young son to ask a clerk, who was very confused by his request for zucchini impatiens.
