The Flowers in Europe
Bonjour. Ciao. Hallo. I am back from my Europe trip with lots of stories, tips and today, the flowers in Europe. And along with the beautiful images of the flowering blooms, I wanted to share the coolest thing I witnessed on the streets in Rome.
But first the flowers in Europe.
The streets in Paris and the city markets in Rome, had no shortage of beautiful fiori (Italian) or fleurs (French) to sell to the community. I was kinda surprised that I didn’t see any blooms while I was in Munich, I am sure there were flower shops , I just didn’t see any. And although I didn’t see many actual flower shops in Rome, every outdoor city market had flower stands with plenty of fiori to offer the public. Paris was a different story, beautiful fleur shops and smaller scaled nursery’s were everywhere.
I will let my images and the beauty of the flowers in Europe do the talking.
I found that the prices of the flowers were similar to that of the states. I did however find that they had more of a variety of flowers to offer, despite the season. Whatever you wanted, they had. And small flower arrangements seemed to be a popular in both Rome and Paris, compared to the bigger ones’ we often see and buy in America.
You could probably tell, I couldn’t get enough of the flowers in Europe. But the one thing that totally surprised me and, with out a doubt the coolest thing that I witnessed was this……
Alladin ( or maybe it was his 4th cousin, not sure as he didn’t talk or smile unless you put euros in his magic bucket) on his magic carpet, right there in the streets of Rome near the flower market….. floating above those beautiful blooms. I stood there for a minute or so trying to figure out how in the heck he was floating….. then I went back to the beautiful flowers.
It didn’t get any better then this.

Welcome home! Gorgeous pictures! And should I send you a link explaining how that floating man illusion works? 🙂
what….and spoil the magic!:)
There is one thing that Europe does not lack…is gorgeous flowers….oh that Aladdin is hysterical!…Welcome home lady!
why thank you. did you miss me?
I was just saying today I wish we had a nice flower market around here. I drove 30 minutes to the closest Whole Foods and they had crap!
one day I envision having a flower stand on the side of the road but you would have to drive to my exit! 🙂
Such lovely flowers. I would love to see flowers out on the street like this! I bet you had a fabulous time. Never been to Paris or Rome. Certainly on my bucket list.

WOW! I love all these flowers! Did you ever figure out how Alladin was floating??? I would’ve been half tempted to wave my hand underneath him! LOL!
that little man would not smile for nothing unless you put some magic coins in his bucket. I managed to get a shot when he wasn’t looking. apparetnly there is something in the arm area that connects to the seat that he is sitting on. Hope you are having an amazing week. I am so glad to be home!
Thanks for letting me imagine what springtime in Paris looks like! I went in the fall so no flowers for me. Aladdin looks like he needs a nice plate of pasta!
How gorgeous and so many different kind of flowers they have! It looks like you have an awesome time. I’m so glad for you! Looking forward to see more pics of your trip!
thanks cristina. hope you had a happy easter!
