A Visit to the Flower District

MY NEIGHBOR INVITED ME  (OK I INVITED MYSELF) TO JOIN HER EARLY ONE MORNING THIS PAST WEEK TO THE NEW YORK CITY FLOWER MARKET.  SADLY THIS AREA OF NEW YORK HAS SHRUNK IN SIZE FROM  ABOUT 10 CITY BLOCK TO JUST A FEW..... BUT STILL VERY EXCITING TO SEE THE COLOR AND QUALITY AND QUANTITY OUT THERE.  WHEN POSSIBLE I TOOK OUT MY TRUSTY IPHONE AND SNAPPED AWAY. 


TULIPS, FABULOUS TULIPS......FRENCH AND DUTCH

CARNATIONS ARE ALWAYS A STAPLE

LUSHES ROSES

EXOTICA AND "FILLERS"



RANUNCULUS ONE O MY FAVORITE FLOWERS, MULTI PETALED AND LONG LASTING


ORDERS READY TO BE PAID AND PACKAGED

ONE OF THE WHOLESALERS ARRANGED THEIR STOCK  SO YOU WOULD DROOL AND EACH  BOUQUET

A SHOPPER GRABBING HER LOOT


THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE  OF THE MOMENT


ALWAYS A CAT TO KEEP THE MICE AWAY








CORAL PEONIES......DARN I ALREADY BOUGHT MY ALLOTMENT  FOR THE DAY

CLEMATIS FOR THE GARDEN


SO WHAT DID I PURCHASE AND DO WITH THE FLOWERS?  TULIPS AND RANUNCULUS OF COURSE! AND HERE IS THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING.....ERRR FLOWERS
