July 11, farmer's market

.

Lots of really nice flowers at the market!!!

You know I am not a pink person, but isn't this a nice bouquet? I like that big *green* leaf behind the bee balm, upper right, as well as the lilies and daisies.....

The curbs at the market have been freshly painted yellow, so when you see big yellow areas in these images, that's what it is.

Remember when we were looking at that all pink&white planter a few weeks ago, and I said it needed yellow? Imagine this without the yellow. See how much more namby-pamby it would be, without yellow?





It rained really hard for a while, on the 11th. The market is not enclosed, and is only partially roofed...........

Hibiscus.





Lilies and baby's breath.





Not a bouquet, but a plant to take home. I've never seen a purple datura before. Nor a double one. Isn't it spectacular? All curves and points. And color....... These flowers are huge. Longer than my palm+fingers, and nearly as wide.





Gerberas.

I really like the lighter one in the background, and the other market flowers behind that....





Snapdragons, lined up and waiting to go to new homes.





Lisianthus. More pink -- isn't it nice that it brought along its own yellow (and chartreuse)!





I believe this is a Stargazer lily. Love that hot pink/fuchsia, with the chartreuse center...........





Flowers!

You and I would be fighting over the datura...
"I saw it first!"
"No you didn't! I did!"

I need orange said...

Naw, they had lots. :-) Plenty for both of us to have more than we have room for.
