This weekend saw the most beautiful daffs by the road, some on the central reservation and some on roundabouts. They would be so nice in a vase on my table! I wonder if there is a fine or penalty for that? Anyone know? I often think a scissors in the car would be great. Sorry bad girl. I did not steal them though! Guilty on the thought of it. uh oh

Hi Sail...hug

Yes,it's illegal now to pick the flowers, not even allowed to go primrose picking anymore. As a child I used to love getting mum some wild flowers,especially the bluebells.

I have plenty of flowers in my garden, love to see them on roundabouts or parks etc so would never dream of getting off
the bus and picking some

I used to pick wild flowers for my Grandma when I was a little girl. I miss picking her flowers..She used to smile so much. I don't know if it was illegal back then, if so, I can't apologize enough, but I don't care, my Grandma was worth it.

AS I created this I am obliged to reply to you.
I am not impressed but you find it ammusing!
Here in the UK we do not nick from Cemetaries
it is against the Law.
Still what you do in Ireland maybe different.
Do you have so much trouble gettting as you
call it LAID?
Maybe you are just doing something wrong!!!comfort
