First, the elephant ears started drooping (even though they were watered) and just went flat. Then the flowers started shriveling, and finally, the bananas just started leaning and crashed to the ground after a week. Apparently, someone didn't like my landscaping and decided to kill it all (flowering shrubs and hedges are fine, as is the lawn). I did notice a weed killer type smell for a few days, so I suspect someone sprayed all these plants with something like Weed-Be-Gone. But I guess they got their way. My landscaping is no longer eye-catching or special.

I have no clue who would do this or why. I live in a nice neighborhood (all the houses are from a half million to over a million dollars) and have no enemies. At this point, I figure whatever was sprayed is still in the ground, so I can't replant anything. I give up. Will install a security camera for next year.
