Nice idea but our local shop rarely has cut flowers for sale. I suppose
I could buy a small pot plant instead but it isn't really the same is it?

A nice bouquet of wild flowers are nice too... and they don't cost anything.
I have seen some really nice wild flowers in gorgeous colours on walks on
the path where the train tracks used to be just outside of town here. :o)

In some places, it is illegal to pick wildflowers. Don't get caught
picking California poppies, for instance. The fines are a lot higher
than buying a bouquet at the supermarket.

And it's far nicer to leave the wild flowers where they are so others
can enjoy them

Isn't that truly sad.. I can remember picking wild "black-eyed susans"
for my mother when I was a child in California.. They grew everywhere
in vast fields before southern California became so built-up.

(Now having visions of little children being locked up for picking
flowers... *SHUDDER* )

It is sad, but understandable in urban areas where community parks and
natural spaces must be protected. In our city, if picking flowers in
provincial and municipal parks were allowed the parks would be stripped and
the average person (or child) would never see one. Besides, not to be too
cynical, but you just know someone's going to be out there picking the
flowers from the park and selling them at a kiosk at the park gate.

The world has changed since we were children ... I guess we have to take
the bad with the good.

Very true! Plus, if we don't leave them to go to seed, next year there
will be fewer, and the following year, even less, until there are no
more at all!

Thank you Mirjam,

Gail was transfered to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago,
Illinois Friday afternoon. They have one of the best neurology teams in
the world there. I hope they can find out something.

Thanks for the wishes Mirjam.
Hugs & God bless,
Dennis & Gail

Oh I know! Here in Ontario you cannot pick Trilliums, they are the
Provencial flower. They had almost died off years ago, but thankfully are
back growing in abundance in amongst the forests now. So pretty, but I
wouldn't pick them. I actually did call the Police department here last
summer to ask if it was still in effect that they cannot be picked,
considering how many are growing now (the forest floor had a carpet of
trilliums covering it), and I was told that they hadn't been told anything
different from the environment branch of the government yet, so they assume
they are still protected. :o)
