They are scared unto death that someone who actually cares for plants may
get them for free in the dumpsters, and worse, perhaps resell them as living
healthy plants. I've seen multiple pallets of impatiens in the burning sun,
on blacktop, at wallmarts in zone 8, but when told they were going to melt
to death, got "we've got to put them somewhere".

Strange sight at Home DepotPosted by CRMiller z9 CA (My Page) on Sun, Mar

Today when I was at Home Depot, there was a cart full of half dead
plants (needed water) and some irises that were out of bloom. They were
headed for the dumpster. The lady working there was taking the plants out
one by one and spray-painting them! Not the pot, the leaves and stem. I
didn
't stop to ask her about them because I was in a hurry. I don't like that
they throw away plants that were under watered, but spray-paint them
bright
orange?!!
