You don't bring me flowers anymore

Right in our neighborhood there is a field where you can go and pick flowers (Gretchen and I refer to it as the blumenpicken). It's all on the honor system--prices are posted and you just leave money for whatever you take. I have no idea if it's privately owned or run by the community, but it's a great idea. The only downside is that if someone asks why you don't bring flowers home, you can't use the excuse that the shops were all closed.
