When I was little and picked buttercups etc., my nan would tell me that they're beautiful but so much more beautiful outside where they belong. Consequently, having fresh flowers is something we don't do but we have lots of pots and a beautiful garden because of it. And going out for a walk is lovely. Seems to be a habit that isn't so commonly enjoyed anymore (and no, I'm not particularly 'old') - it's just how I was brought up...
