That is so funny!! I'm hoping to do the same thing!! Although each of mine will have to have signs on them about "leave me alone, please don't prune me" because once a year the building has people come in (without warning me!) and they trim all the trees and bushes, grasses and whatnot...they completely took the young camelia and Hamamelis (witch hazel) down so low that neither are blooming this year - If I was warned I could have been home and protected them! (I'd hate for that to happen with these clematis, they wouldn't recover as quickly I don't think!) So I treat "the" yard as if its "my" yard, but then I get some awful reminders that its not mine!
