What in carnation?

In what can only be described as WTF, a video posted to Café Myriade's Instagram page shows an unknown individual approach a row of flowers planted in front of the cafe's avenue du Mont-Royal location and pull out a whole bunch of them while another individual looks on.

But the real question is: why?

For its part, the café did have a good sense of humour about this.

Café Myriade told MTL Blog that this happened at 3:45 a.m. on Monday morning. They didn't file a police report.

"We did replant what we could," they said.

"If it needs some filler we will gladly do some gardening."
