Just Coz.

       Just coz I liked it.    We were out at Talkin Tarn for a wander about, a few shots, and of course, the inevitable "Brew"
       One thing came to light in discussion with Jerra was this:- 
Apparently "Under the 1981 Act It is unlawful to intentional pick, uproot or destroy the wild plant or any seed or spore attached to the wild plant."
And YET You ARE allowed to pick Flowers before they even set seed:-
:¬o )
"To promote the conservation of wild plants, picking is not encouraged - plants are better left for others to enjoy. However if you wish to pick the plants be careful not to trespass and never take material from a nature reserve or protected site without permission, and remember to:
Take flowers and foliage only from large patches of the plant." etc.       
Anybody care to rationalise that?  Does it qualify as a dichotomy  I wonder?
