March Markets in Bloom

The Saturday flower markets only have about a third of the stalls that trade through the week, but that's still plenty for the average home bloomer.

Stock can be a bit old, but it is super cheap. They had beautiful magnolia bunches for $8, and I got 25 of those awesome roses below for $15. I also discovered ginger flowers (the pinecone like pink flowers below) which are $6 for a huge (over a metre long) stem.

Where else would you rather be at 7am on a Saturday morning?

Spring Market in Bloom

Sorry, this is a bit slack, but it's been quite busy the past couple of days. These are more old pics I'm afraid, but the are so lovely, of the Sydney Flower Markets in October. The Sydney Flower Markets are one of the few in the world where the general public can go, so if you have a free morning, sometime before 6 am, I highly recommend it. You will generally pay about a third for your blooms than you do at a florist. I am heading back soon, so it will be really interesting to see how much the stock has changed.
