Useless on top of the ground...

He is useless on top of the ground; he ought to be under it, inspiring the cabbages. -Mark Twain

What's that new planting around the mailbox? It's a bit shaded by the out of place ficus tree and I can't see it clearly.

Oh, it's Bouganvilla. Not a native plant, but not invasive. Ah, but it's planted three deep across the side of the mailbox.

Correction - across each side of the mailbox three deep. And it's in the deep shade of that "lovely" ficus.  No wonder it's about to die.

Folks, don't do this.
