Is'nt this flower amazing? I should know what it is but I don't! This flower shop occupies the best spot on the bridge. It has a wonderful view across the river towards Prior Park.
With the British being as serious as they are about their gardening, it should be no surprise that you have some beautifully stocked flower shops.
I have noticed from some of my travels that the British gardening culture is alive and well in the ex-empire, such as New Zealand and Victoria, British Columbia.
English flower shops are stocked with a different variety of species than here so it's always a surprise for me to see them. I saw the loveliest flower stall at Marylebone sunday farmers market, back in september (on my other blog) and I bought "cosmos", totally unknown here!!! You too, have a great summer, we'll get in touch again at the end of august/beginning of sept. CIAO da Verona!
