I know people who grow natives in their front yards and have had the
neighbors complain about the "weeds" because the plants don't look manicured
and poodled. Maybe it's California, as someone pointed out, or suburbia, but
the conflict I see has more to do with tolerance for wildness vs.
intolerance of anything but the most stringently mowed clipped monocultured
look.
