The native plants in a region define that place. Our relationship with those plants gives us a sense of identity. How we treat those plants in turn reflects back on the way we think of ourselves. People need to stop trying to pretend that they live somewhere else. Stop trying to emulate corny Victorian to English gardens or Spanish colonial crap. You will drain your aquifers (and your financial reserves) doing so.
