I'd carve out an exception for responsibly gathered flowers.

    Yes perhaps but the only way to legally responsibly gather flowers is if the flower giver has their own garden on their own property. Very rare scenario nowadays.

    Well, i do have a pretty nice balcony selection. That said, though, i don't think anyone would care about me pulling some tansies, lupins, daisies, or poppies from a vacant lot. You could do a lot just with grasses too.

    Edit: ooh, i forgot clover flowers. Amazingly pretty. Dandelions are lovely too.

    Edit 2: just saw a big cluster of forget-me-nots

    If a romantic suitor handed me a bouquet of weeds, how do you think that would affect my perception of him? Again I say if he urgently wants to give me something to show his love for me, he will evaluate my life & my needs & gift me something I actually want & need. THAT is what wins a girl's heart. Not dead plants.

    I think in my case, if you judged a gift of hand-selected wildflowers as a bouquet of weeds, I think we both would have established each other's bona fides and we'd be done, so that's kind of a win-win there. :)
