flowers 1







-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flowers seen casually along the roadside: they're everywhere. To the right is typical, near my house as seen from a local eatery; the steps are my neighbor's doorway; orchids are ubiquitous. If I have a chance, I'll post a whole section on orchids. Lotus deserves its own post as well.

This is a flower farm, walking distance from my house, but I'd never have known about it but that Boom took me there; she knows the proprietess. This is one step in a process of Big Business flowers--we went to see the flower market, discovered that a lot of flowers change hands daily in Thailand.

This is just the tip of an iceburg of flower pictures; Dave is right, you may count on many cards to come of this adventure. Floral beauty is everywhere, and beautiful. I don't think it will spoil my enjoyment of a New England autumn, but it helps me understand why Aom was not spellbound by our glorious display.
