It was one of those Sundays when I was itching to buy myself flowers, harry potted or otherwise. The heavy rains didn't stop me from going to the Flower District on W 28th St. between Avenue of the Americas and 7th Avenue.
This reminded me of Dangwa in Sampaloc, Manila where I used to pass by everyday when I was in college because the university was one block away. Needless to say by Lady Cheapskate, Dangwa was still so much cheaper and the flowers were more in abundance, overflowing in the streets that it was impossible to walk around during the holidays.
The visuals just left me in awe. Rows and rows of potted or cut hydrangeas, sweet peas, daisies, orchids, tulips and other humongous ferny things. Some were silk flowers but you wouldn't know the difference just by looking at them.
Wouldn't it be nice to visit all the flower markets in the world? Hmm, lovely, lovely thought. Better than visiting the Chinatown of every city you visit, even in Beijing or Shanghai.
