Graveyard robbery

 We have a really special cemetery close by that I walk past frequently and visit. Quaint headstones, surrounded by a beautiful dry stack stone wall. And plenty of wonderful people I've known to visit. It's a calming, quiet place.

But there is also a darker more sinister side to my visits. Outside the walls is a large mound of dirt, grass clippings,  and discarded plants.  I tend to peruse the discards to see if there is anything I can salvage and replant. Two years ago we scored big when someone decided to thin out the iris at a loved ones grave marker. This year I have my eye on a really healthy huge light pink columbine. It's just bloomed, if we leave it to go to seed, we plan to steal both seeds and the plant. Hope there aren't other plant robbers also planning to heist it.

Update June 20: I guess I'm not the only columbine pilferer in town, someone else nicked the columbine out from under us! Went back and it was gone. Not even a lonely seed pod left behind.
