That story is badly reported so don't go playing Batman yet. The vandalism
as described would not have killed the irises as these hysterics claim in
the article you cite. Sounds like some ****ed off gardeners are lying &
exaggerating for effect. Wrecking the signs & the leaves would not kill
even one plant.

Whether the plants are dead or not is besides the point, paghat. This evil
deed is proof that we need to bring back the pillory as a form of
punishment.

Since the most damaging part of the crime was removing the labels, & since
it is the official policy of the garden to sell their irises without
labels, the pillory would have to be applied to the entire staff.
