Anyone know places in/near Portland where love locks naturally grow? I'm looking to pick a bouquet while I'm here.

My girlfriend and I went out yesterday to steal love locks, then went to get some warm food and drinks afterwards (it was friggin' cold).
We ended up with 28 new love locks¹, a cinnamon roll the size of a large hedgehog, and chai I had to strain through my teeth.
All and all, it was a beautiful day and a lovely experience...though next time I hope they pour the chai through a strainer 😅
¹I went for easier prey because, from the time I pulled my hands out of my pockets, I had about 30 seconds of poking icy metal before my fingers went numb.

And people say Mastodon is hard 😋
Gorgeous antique 8-Lever "Mastodon" steel padlock, picked in ~7 seconds, using homemade tools fashioned out of recycled bike spokes.
This is the second of two beautiful antique locks my partner gave me as a present.
The reason this opened so quickly is because several of the levers are rusted in place, and I bypassed the remaining ones and pushed the locking pawls out of the way directly.

#TIL I don't have enough locks.
I counted 231, but 🤷🏼♀️, who knows if I missed any.
*I gave away like a hundred when I moved several years ago—this is what I have now (plus another half-dozen that didn't fit on the table.
Eve and I went out again. Came back with 24 new additions to the family.
