civic pride: plant theft

stolen!

 ^^voodoo lilies (are a highlight of the Donald Street Walkway. 

With an inflorescence (what we see as the flower) over 30 cm or1 foot they make for a striking display. 

Sadly for the many who come to see and photograph the lily, this one was stolen a few days ago.

^^The thieves left a few small bulbs. The theft of plants is an ongoing problem for civic gardens.
