It is incredible what people will do. I would be interested to find out what the motivation behind the theft is whether it is for resale or she just likes free flowers.

I have the SAME PROBLEM; every year my hydrangea bush produces about 65 extra large flowers. Gradually, starting in July, someone comes at night with pruning shears and clips two or three that are perfect for drying. (and then selling). Last year I lost 49. This year I am determined to wait up; they come in the dark, and probably walk as I live in an old village on a footpath.

Can't afford a CCTV. I am 66. Very dark area. This has been going on about six years. Any ideas? Exploding Ink? To track them home? HELP!!!
