this one's for you, Ma

one of the things I love to do in New York is get up earlyish and totter across to the Chelsea Flower Market

it's a visual delight and the fragrances are intoxicating - i wish this could be a scratch-and-sniff post

















and then the contents of the gutters had me wishing for a dyepot

  3. This post is Heaven……….
    I used to live near a flower market in Toronto and miss it more than I like to admit. Just one banana leaf would make me swoon. The fresh flower choices of my area are quite mundane…and have me lusting for the simple Zinnia this time of year.
