      How terribly sad. To think it must have been a gardener who did this.

        More like someone who saw a profit, might be worth keeping an eye on ebay for the culprit :paladin:

          Yes. But hopefully they will have some idea of what it is and how to look after it?

            I think it's mean to take it.....there are lots of people who would love to see it and now they won't get the chance.

            At the RHS Wisley gardens they have CCTV in the glasshouses, and some of the individual plants are alarmed - especially in the alpine house.

              I wonder if we will ever know. It could have been a kid picking a flower for mummy for all I know. On the other hand, it could have been an enthusiast thinking they could propagate it. Or anything inbetween I suppose. I just hope it is safe and well.
