yes, it is sad indeed. One "quick solition" to this can be to offer guided tours with busses in small groups. If people don't need to drive, and are offered the opportunity of learning about the flowers, taking fotos - certainly not in the middel of flowers -, do you think they may accept your invitation? Is it atleast worth trying? if this effort fails, we can look for another solution. When people want to take fotos, one can explain them, why they should not walk thru the flowers, by showing the fotos you have taken.
I am convinced that prohibiting something is of no use at all.
