Flower Power
Not only are they stealing avocados from commercial growers in California, but now we have a gang of flower thieves making off with flowers from homeowners' yards. The cowards have even been known to take plastic plants from gravesites and sell them to other people. I can't offer much hope for the plastic blooms, but scientists are apparently developing some real flowers that are pretty smart these days--even capable of detecting landmines. Maybe researchers will eventually develop a sweet little bluebell that screams like a banshee when threatened by some petal pervert, or maybe a passion vine with tendrils that reach out and dial 911 and put a headlock on the perps until help arrives.
