I plant my glads in clumps and then put a tomato cage over them - the
cages are generally useless for tomatoes anyway and a lot less work
than tying all those glads to stakes.

Nowhere does it say that one must use one separate bamboo stake for each
separate bloom... a couple three stakes with some sort of green ribbon can
support many blooms, and will be essentially invisible... much more
aesthetically pleasing in a flower garden than grotesquely hidious torturous
looking tomato cages.. why would anyone equate beautification with an iron
maiden..

So I have kinky flowers? OK. I can live with that.

I also grow plants around the outside. You can hardly see the cages,
which are on the small side.

That's known as selective vision, you choose not to see, but be well assured
that others see them immediately. Wire cages are okay in the typical veggie
garden but are a detractant in a flower bed. Last few years I haven't been
replacing my worn out wire tomato cages, bamboo stakes and a ball of
inexpensive sisal twine work just as well. Bamboo stakes cost much less,
are far easier to storage, last a long time (several years, and by nipping
off the rotted end they're still utile), and being of natural plant material
are invisible amongst the plants unless one knows exactly where to look.
Bamboo is also readily available in various lengths and diameters, and
bamboo is always inexpensive... I can buy over a hundred quality bamboo
stakes for the price of one wire cage. Wire cages are the first thing one
sees, they stick out like a black thumb.

I'm reminded of the guy who investigated the Challenger disaster.
Richard Feyman. He wrote a book "What do you care what someone else
thinks". My garden is a labor of love and is living art. Every day it
is different if I pay attention. Some call this mindful I call it
gardening. I can't hire someone to do it for me as there are too many
nuances that bring it to life . If outside and inside are the same then
litter must be picked up and plant life protected. Plus

Small plant showed yesterday
One I split apart now three
Cost nothing just desire

More seems the issue
Then It is time to give away

Nothing wrong with that, I do a lot to please those I care about, unlike you

anyone other than yourself, probably never. If you have sex like you garden

If it's that, or going home with you, Shelly (AAA), they probably think
it is a good investment. Having trouble with your forest petunia? heh,

That's accepted as careful vision, you accept not to see, but be able-bodied assured that others see them immediately. Wire cages are accept in the archetypal veggie garden but are a detractant in a annual bed. Last few years I haven't been replacing my beat out wire amazon cages, bamboo stakes and a brawl of inexpensive sisal braid plan just as well.

Bim-batta-boom, bingo. Iiiiiiiit's Shelly :O(

So from insulting Christianity, you've moved on to sexual innuendo.
