Flower Crazy

“People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.” ~ Iris Murdoch

Whenever I pass the flower market in El Centro, I find myself in awe of the wide variety of flowers available throughout the year. It’s a treat to be able to buy twenty long-stem roses (a major export for Ecuador) at the affordable cost of $4. At those prices, we'd be fools not to keep our living room filled with fresh roses.
