the flower district.

  
along a single city block -- all in a row -- are the shops that make up the flower district. from mauve roses and buttery button mums to shimmering palm trees and orchids the color of jewels, whatever you can dream up, you can find.

as for me, i came home with daisies.

  1. What in the world are the flowers at the top? They look like miniature fireworks! Now this is my kinda district!

  2. I didn't even know this existed until you told me about it! I want to go! My dream is to someday have enough money that I can justify buying fresh flowers for my home all the time. I love it!

  3. Ang, they are actually wholesale, so it's not expensive at all! They open super early (4am!) so that flower dealers from all over the city can stock up (and then sell them at higher prices...). You should go!

  4. Oh, the multicolored hydrangeas! So beautiful. I also love orchids; they make me feel Zen-like.
