Those Who Sell Me Flowers

How excellent! I'd love to have fresh flowers (and basil) available on my way home. Mmmm!
As you can guess I really like this, always interesting to meet the locals.
lol @ the VW cap.
They appear to be nice people; I'd buy some flowers from them!
Oh bless them. I'm sure you enjoy getting to know them and buying their beautiful flowers for so many months.

More nice, expressive faces. Beautiful fresh flowers = food for the soul, & theirs look gorgeous.
Thursday is market's day but there are no flowers around... so I buy daffodils at Trader Joe's, my favorite place. Do Mr and Mrs Gavrilović sell tarragon? I haven't been able to find any for the last two years.
How fun for you to have them bring their lovely garden offerings so close by. There is nothing like the color and scent of fresh flowers in the house. I wish I could afford to have them all the time. I like the colors of their dahlias, and seeing their smiles.

@Therese, no, I haven't seen tarragon here at all, though I bet someone has it. It's not commonly used here.
I haven't heard the car name Yugo in ages!
Nice to meet you, Bibi!!!!!
Fabulous shots you have around here!!!
That is so neat. A wonderful little slice of life.
how nice to have a good source of flowers and herbs near by :)
that was nice of you to take their photo and i know you always present a photo to whomever you snap.
have a lovely weekend.
Beautiful flowers.
I buy a lot of flowers but never once thought to take pics of my favorite flower vendors. This I must do! ~acadine
Great portrait shot of this couple Bibi!
They look like the kindest, sweetest, couple. How wonderful to find a husband and wife team enjoying their time together. So often we go off in different directions. Truly a marriage! And oh to surround oneself with the sweet smells and beautiful colors of flowers.
The dahlias are just beautiful! It's nice you have a source for fresh herbs too!
A beautiful image and story, Bibi! Would love to have some of that fresh basil now. As you know, it's mid to late summer here before it gets hot enough for basil to do well.
