Wild or field gladiolus (GLADIOLUS ITALICUS)

This is growing wild on the street corner...it's been catching my for the last week. I finally stopped for a look :) I wasn't sure what it was at first, but the more I looked at the more it looked like a gladiolus. A quick web search confirmed it!

I think that I'm going to take a little stroll down to the corner and gently lift one of these out...would that be wrong??? They're on public property growing wild ...hmmm :)
