Lotus thief leaves NT$100 banknote for picked flower
Lotus thief leaves NT$100 banknote for picked flower
2025-06-24
A curious scene was recently witnessed at a blooming lotus pond in Yilan’s Yuanshan Township: someone picked a flower and tied a NT$100 bill on the stem. The owner of the pond found the gesture amusing, but still urged visitors not to pick his flowers. Let’s find out more.

The landowner thought it’s adorable that someone would tie a banknote there. But he said he also noticed that many people have picked his flowers, so he said this morning that he’s going to offer the NT$100 to a temple and pray that people stop picking his lotuses.

Lotus pond owner
I think it’s alright for people to come here and look at the flowers, but please don’t pick the flowers, because the lotus seeds can’t be harvested yet. I found it quite adorable that this one flower picker left a NT$100 bill where the flower should be. It’s the first time in more than ten years I’ve encountered something like this.
Perhaps the thief thought their action wouldn’t be considered stealing if they “paid” for the lotus. Although the lotus pond owner didn’t seem to be too mad, he obviously hoped people could stop picking his flowers.

荷花不見了? 花莖下方綁了百元鈔票 另類買花?
2025-06-24
宜蘭員山鄉一處路邊荷花田，最近荷花盛開，吸引不少民眾欣賞。有鄉代表在網路PO文，說荷花田很有趣，一枝花莖上的花不見了，下頭綁了一百塊鈔票。荷花池主人說，第一次看到這樣的行為。

“地主對於這個動作(綁一百塊)，他是覺得很可愛，他是覺得說，大概今年好像他發現摘花情況蠻多的，他說他今天早上來的時候，他要把那一百塊拿去添油香。”

“是覺得說大家賞花沒有關係，盡量不要去把花摘掉，因為還沒到採收蓮子的季節。摘花的人很可愛，他會把一百塊包在花的那個地方，我是覺得差不多十幾年來第一次遇到這種事情。”
民眾賞花想帶回家，不想變成採花賊，居然綁了100錢付費，蓮花池老闆不介意，至於這筆錢，他拿去添香油錢。
