Innocent-Looking Flowers Threaten Alameda

Editor,

I used to think that flowers were merely annoying, until I saw the monstrosity in the enclosed photo. It turns out that those innocent-looking flowers have been plotting behind our backs, and some of them have already gotten as tall as trees! As if it weren't bad enough with all of the high-rise trees we already have in this town, now we have to watch out for the flowers, too. Before you know it, they'll be harboring Squirrels just like the trees. It's time for Right-Thinking Alamedans to nip this scourge in the bud. Rip out all of those threatening flowers in your yard, and replace them with something safe, namely Kentucky bluegrass.
