This bush hangs over our neighbor’s fence into our front yard, and at the risk of having someone report me to the garden police I’m going to admit that I cut off a branch and brought it inside. I STOLE A BRANCH. There. And serving time will be worth it because it is the most magnificent centerpiece that has ever sat on my kitchen table.
