I was blathering on about this over at the spec blog so I don't want to bore everyone again, but there are native shrubs, grasses, and flowers that will tolerate harsh conditions. Many varieties actually do better in less fertile soil, and once established need next to no water. Native plants are much better for the environment and aesthetically much more cutting edge than tiresome annuals and therefore much better for the city's image. And isn't this all supposed to be about improving the city's image? Don't know why they can't make the switch, unless it's because there are too many union jobs involved in the growing, planting, and high maintenance of all those bloody annuals.
