this is a TRAVESTY, and there is a special circle of hell for someone who would steal such a precious earth object. i'm trying to think of a comparable situation in which someones is digging up tulip bulbs from the front "yard" of someone's brownstone—and it's perfectly incomprehensible! notions of "private property" aside, it feels like the breaking of an unspoken rule: "thou shalt not dig up a plant on unknown territory." it's also hard to imagine someone appreciating the beauty of a bonsai camellia in bloom, but who could not or would not value the sense that someone had carefully cultivated it, and might like to keep on doing so. speaking of "social contracts," this person BROKE IT. it's not you, it's them.
Sorry to hear abour your Camellia. Its similar to someone vandalizing a plant or structure in a Natl Park. It robs our public of a chance to appericate what is was before or in your case what it could become. I share your sadness. I hope this person does not return to damage your plants.
