We have annual beds at work. I actually love the annual beds, they put on lovely displays and its nice to change the scenery every 4-6 months. The colour you get out of them is magnificent and as they are planted en masse, it really stands out and looks amazing. They make the parks in my eyes. We dont have alot of annual beds, so its not that bad when we have to replant them. The flowers in this picture are a trial for this year, they are called Portulaca, we wanted to have something other then petunias and vincas that we put in for every summer display. The colours in them are quite varied with pinks, reds, oranges, whites and yellows. They seem quite promising. Biggest frustration right now, they keep getting stolen. In this past month we have had over 250 annual plants stolen right out of the bed. Every morning we come in and another patch of about 20-30 plants have been taken. Its not just annuals either, 10 rose plants have been dug up and taken too. I cant begin to tell you how disheartening this is. We have no hope of catching who ever is doing this as, in the words of my boss, "its only $1000 worth of plants, the police have better things to do with their time". With an attitude like that, one wonders why they sometimes get a 'whats the point' attitude at work.
