Now that spring has finally arrived the streets of Ibiza are being given splashes of welcome colour in the form of hundreds of flowers planted lovingly by the gardens department of the council. However as fast as they can plant them. the flowers are being stolen by persons unknown. under cover of darkness. The council believes the flowers, mostly margaritas, end up adorning people's balconies nearby. The worst areas for this theft are the main plaza, the Vara de Rey, and the corner of the Avenidas España and Ignacio Wallis.
