Why Do People Kill Flowers?


I enjoy seeing flowers on plants in the garden, or even on plants indoors in pots, but it depresses me when people gather flowers. Sometimes people kill flowers and take the corpses with them when going out for a meal, but the worst massacres are inspired by funerals.

It was a small consolation to learn that flowers killed in honour of the late Queen will be composted and the compost used to nourish plants in parks, but if the object was to make compost people could have donated grass cuttings, the products of dead headings and weedings, and vegetable peelings from the kitchen instead of slaughtering very pretty plants.
