Nothing beautifies a space like a vase of fresh flowers, be it glossy springtime tulips or late-summer dahlias in jewel-like hues. However, buying cut blooms can be expensive, and growing them at home takes time and effort, which some of us simply can't spare.
If you happen to pass some flowers in a neighboring property, it can be tempting to nab a few stems. This is particularly the case if there are plenty, or for cut-and-come again types (sweet peas, for instance). But, while it may seem innocent enough, picking flowers from someone else's yard can have its risks, similar to picking fruit from a neighbor's tree. After all, it's not your property, and aside from legal implications, it could lead to uncomfortable disputes and upset.
