One of my first jobs had me working retail in the "lawn and garden" department. Every year we would have people buy those wildflower mixes and then 6 weeks later, you would see the same people buying weed killer. I had many people tell me that they couldn't understand why their lawn was so overrun with weeds the last few years, and of course they were always the ones doing the wild flower mix.

Isn’t a wildflower mix mostly weeds? Or am I whooshing?

Yes it is all weeds, but people are stupid and don't seem to know that.
