Default Effects of fertilizers

Hello All,

After I saw this photo of an enormous flower (
http://www.igman.com/misc/fertilizer...our-front-lawn ) I had to ask
myself if this plant was for real?

Or, was this plant engineered by humans, and carefully fertilized by
super potent miracle grow and other potent fertilizers.

If it's natural, I'd love to have it on my lawn, you'd agree that it
would be great fun to rest your yees on its large petals while resting
on the front porch.

But if this plant is genetically engineered and if it's size was
caused by excessive fertilizing you'd have to ask yourself where is
this path taking us. Is this excessive use of inorganic or artificial
fertilizers, anhydrous ammonia, nitrogens, superphosphates, diammonium
phosphate and other 'nature-friendly' stuff going to pollute the
plant up to the point where the process will be irreversible.

The humans are using artificial fertilizers more and more and the
modern society is dependant on it as never before. Yet, our generation
has responsibility to act and make sure laws and regulations are
enacted in order to limit and/or ban use of artificial fertilizers and
that we return to more natural ways of raising crop and our precious
garden plants.

What are your thoughts?

Best,

Vasko
