PLANO, Texas, April 18 (UPI) -- A Texas couple says they've downsized their garden display of spring bluebonnets, a state tradition, after their homeowners association threatened legal action.

Eddie and Melissa Smith's bluebonnet bonanza began five years ago with three plants from a local Plano, Texas, home-improvement store, The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday.

Sounds like it did get out of hand. Better to do things like that in the back yard with an HOA. I like having rules that keeps the yards and properties really pretty. The bluebonnets are pretty, but only for a few weeks.
