Every year in the summer you can see colourful wild flowers in the fields in the Dutch province of Zeeland. People picked them illegaly. Now you can buy a flower pick voucher so flowers can be picked legally. The money revenue is uses for flower seed for next years field edges.

LATER ADDED: In the spoken text in this report I made one wrong conversion. 6 meters must be 19 feet, and not -like I say- 9. I am very sorry about that! The other conversions are correct: 10 Euro = 14 US dollar, 50 meter = 164 feet.
