I have been cited for tall grass and weeds. One of my defenses is that
none of my plants are weeds. To show that this is more than my personal

These plants are not weeds. They are plants that are ornamental,
useful, edible, or provide important ecosystem services for bees and
butterflies. Growing these plants in an urban area is an important
public service.

Or words to that effect anyway. My hearing is June 2nd. I would like to collect as many letters as possible on this, doesn't matter if
people are from Oklahoma City or not.

Butterfly weed

Clove currants
Comfrey
Crimson clover

Maximilien sunflowers
Morning glories
