Look at that! Someone took a knife to it. It wasn't some child passing by whose parents didn't arrive in time to tell it not to pick the flowers. This was a deliberate theft. It's such a disappointment. It leaves me completely bummed out to find fewer stalks in the morning than there were the previous day.
As they are, the flowers can be enjoyed by everyone, and that of course includes the woman who bought and paid for the bulbs, planted them, nourished them, pulled away the weeds nearby and did all that she could to make them nice. Once they've been cut they start to die and they can't be enjoyed by anyone any more.
I must say I'm very misanthropic at the moment.
