A bountiful, beautiful bouquet


This bouquet was found, not in a garden, but in a supermarket, next to the deli. A nice surprise.

Elegance in a most unexpected place then. Life if full of surprises, some of them quite pleasant.

Pretty pretty!! Begonias yes? I like the groceries that have florist shops right in them as most out here do. The best place to buy Orchids for my Mother. MB

Absolutely gorgeous. What a great idea! I can see you in the supermarket with your camera. You should have photographed the reactions of the people watching you. LOL! I want to buy some. Very tack sharp!

What a lovely bouquet .. did it have a scent? I have noticed that lately most flowers have no scent, they are bred for looks ..

Emma Bond said...

Hi Jacob, those are some lovely flowers! Would be interested to know if the smell as good as they look!

Lowell said...

Thanks to all for stopping by and offering your kind thoughts!

@ Daryl and Bath DP - I don't think there is any scent at all...but I'll double-check the next time I'm in the store...

I'm always surprised when I see flowers in supermarkets too! They are very nice, they look a little like begonias (which I don't believe smell at all).

Unknown said...

Gorgeous begonias and shot too!

P.S.: I did reply to your costume question. In yesterday's comments!

PJ said...

Our new Publix is just about to open and I'm deliriously happy about that. I'll check it out for the flowers as I would never have thought of photographing them there. Beautiful.
