Nice photo Sylvia. The Smith’s grocery (owned by Kroger back east) always has very beautiful blooms for sale, and they are the first thing you see walking into my local store.

Here too. I always walk around that section first because it calms me. The grocery store is one of my least favorite places to be.

If you hit the hour right, it’s not so crazy busy, say 7 AM. It’s kind of like an airport, all kinds of humans.

It’s like a museum, you go to enjoy the exhibits. 😉 That reminds me of when my boys were tots and hubby to them to FAO Schwartz and told them it was a toy museum, no purchases allowed. It worked for a couple years until they got wise! 😀

Bought some yellow tulips yesterday while grocery shopping. They were a big hit with Marla (yellow is her favorite color)… and we have no cats, just birds, dogs & fish. I’ll plant them in the yard later on. Until then, i’ll water them with aquarium water. 🙂

Quite beautiful, Sylvia, and delicate. Luckily, we have our cameras to capture a moment in time. –Curt

Yes, they were so very pretty. But the color was almost too vivid. I came home and looked it up just out of curiosity and it turns out that this type of violet color is artificially injected. Once these existing flowers die, the next batch (should the plant live) would most likely be white only. I found that interesting.

I know people color flowers, but it seems strange to me, Sylvia. If you want a violet flower, why don’t you get a violet? Still, it was beautiful. –Curt
