Rescue horror stories

Hmmmm. Makes me feel a bit protective towards *my* gardens...:-) Years
ago I had a garden visitor who practically boasted about her (well-known in
the rock garden society chapter) proclivity for liberating things that her
host failed to provide on demad. I had to tell her that if I ever caught
her doing that I would have to ask her to leave, and would never invite her
back.

Years ago I used to make my children snatch bits of likely plants that
were "sticking out" of a yard. We would drive to wherever there was a
likely candidate, and I would tell them that "they won't arrest
children...." and "no one will notice a tiny bit missing".... They would
sink down in the car seat and whine, "no - please - not again!" Sometimes
I would pass an interesting plant for even several years, saying to myself
that I should try to get a start - and suddenly it would be gone, a victim
of homeowner disapproval or a bulldozer. So this is a good deed we're
doing, as long as the original can spare some of its parts. -Cynthia W
