Paris Flower Market



On Sundays, the Paris flower market is in full bloom.



Just about any plant you can think of is available for your little french terrace or balcony.


The hydrangeas are in every lovely shade of pink, blue & purple.


These blooms are waiting for me to paint them.


There was a shop full of orchids...just heavenly!


Each shop looked like a garden.


Oh my, I couldn't bring anything home.


Interesting lawn ornaments, if you're in the market for a pair of fighting boars or a snapping crocodile...between your delphiniums, perhaps.


Luscious hydrangeas and fuschias!



Sweet lovebirds in the bird market.


Can you imagine shopping here?
