Meaning that beauty and/or originality in the composition, beholder apart,
will be the result of the installation as a whole. After known elements of composition in gardening as you probably know/or not, and follow with your own skills without the need to classify it. Meaning formal, prairie, cottage for example.
However, if you have a lawn, palms, bromeliads, Strelitzia reginae, gingers or heliconias, Ravenala madascariensis, I say, declare your garden sucks big time, looking like a hotel or golf course entrance down here or Fort Lauderdale, gaudy.
I will speculate also. You are environmentally/horticulturally incorrect, since you are not a nimby, or not in my backyard. Unless you have a push mower, goats or sheep to do the lawn, the life of your neighbors, alligators included, is hell on earth with noise and pollution with: gas/oil, propane or diesel. Herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and fertilizers.
In addition water waste. In brief you and your garden suck, since biodiversity our surroundings are destroyed with your selfish ways.
Join me in this crusade, you yellow belly backward fool. Repent. After you pass away, you, your groupies, will reach the milk and honey so often mentioned, not along Antigonum, among your own. Amen.

A way to measure popularity is to assign five species by follower, visitors, countries, cities or comments.
Since this is no feisbuk competition to gather the most followers, I remind one dear reader, the inspiration for today post, that the garden itself, not I, nor the blog is what matters.
