Nature has introduced great variety into the landscape, but man has displayed a passion for simplifying it. Thus he undoes the built-in checks and balances by which nature holds the species within bounds.

"But ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind." — Job 12:7-10

One of the main annoyances of ‘landscape professionals’ is that they do not take advantages of the natural characteristics of plants, but instead, try to tame them unrealistically. To make matters worse, some breeders take their breeding too far, literally breeding weaknesses into plants.
