seed pods and shoots leaving the plants looking damaged. I asked them twice
to stop and they just laughed saying the host would never miss the little
bit they were taking. People like that shouldn't be let out of their cage!

===>Marilyn, what some of these people also fail to realize is that some
botanical gardens and even some individuals have some one-of-a-kind plants of
their own discovery or breeding that they don't want others to be growing
until they market them themselves. It's like stealing a manuscript and
selling it to a publisher as your own. Generally, these people aren't really
vicious--just ignorant.
