Floral thoughts – 365 days a year

flowersWhere?     Blume Ahoi,  Hoheluftchaussee 75 (U1/3 Hoheluftbrücke)

When?     Mo, noon – 6pm // Tue-Fri, 10am-8pm // Sat, 10am – 6pm

How much?     10 Gerbera for less than 3€

Here at tba, we’re trying to make every day special. Make it all count and enjoy it. As much as we can. Things that make us happy help with that, and things that help are mainly other people, chocolate and a sweet little gesture.

Consider this little gesture to be a flower.

365 days a year. And it does not have to be Valentine’s Day for a flowery gift.

I want to draw your attention to a small flower shop in Hoheluft where you can buy pretty flowers for prettier prices. The owner, or so one of the sales assistants told me, drives to Holland every week to get cheap but also fresh and good quality flowers and brings them directly to the shop, no in-betweeners at all. The sale assistants themselves are not trained florists, but still helpful and nice.

You also won’t find big bouquets with green stuff and here a this and there a that.

Flowers and that’s it. And it works.

By the by, the shop itself is incredibly beautiful and when you leave, with ten Gerbera in your hand and the sun shining, it feels as though everyone around you could just break out singing at the top of their lungs,dance around a street lamp…

 

…and the world’s worries are momentarily

lost in the beauty of

Fresh flowers.
