Flowers Are People Too

I don't like it when people pick flowers off plants that only put out one flower or if there are few of the plant actually flowering. The reason I don't collect flowers is because there is nothing anyone can do to a flower after it has been picked to make it as beautiful as it was the moment it was noticed in the wild. I've tried; it doesn't work. The only flowers I get are the ones that have already fallen and I never keep them. I once had a bouquet of cut flowers and when they all died I took them outside and buried them. That's how it should be.
In the field today, there was one indian paintbrush blooming in the area and Jill picked the flower. I was so angry with her that I didn't talk or make eye contact the rest of the day out there. It really is one thing to love nature and another thing to love it to its detriment. One of many habits I don't like about that woman.
