if you are like my aunt, you are feeding a genuine love and interest in horticulture and simply want to grow your collection of green exoticness. those with more sinister motivations steal plants or cuttings with the intention of making a little green by selling what they sow — a trend that has prompted one vancouver nursery owner to microchip some of her more valuable plants. and then there are those who don’t set out to walk away with a piece of a plant in their purse or pocket, but are seized with an urge to pluck that they can’t resist, either because of beauty (say, a stunning sunflower) or simply, need (a sprig of basil for that night’s pasta dinner). and what about the people who make up the bushy membership of the proplifting subreddit forum? the ones who excitedly post about their latest “props”?
