Funny, I always moan at the wife if she cuts the grass
while there are daisy's, or any flowers blooming,
I tell her the fairies will get her one night.

Maybe that's the solution. My wife mowed the lawn a few weeks ago and savaged some of my prize bulbs, strangely leaving her sh*t daffodils and cr*p tulips alone.
I'm not even trying to naturalise my rare bulbs in the lawn, they were growing away happily in an island flower bed, but take 7 years or so to raise from seed to flowering size... 7 years until some idiot catches them with the blade of a mower.
I recall she tried to blame it on the self propelled mower. I've deliberately not charged the battery in the lawn tractor and don't let her know where the beast of a starter machine lives to try and avoid such mistakes.
I blame myself, I once told her how many miles I had walked mowing the lawn and from then on she seemed to think it was a way a getting some exercise at the weekend.
