Great Walk of the Flower Markets


Met some fascinating characters and interesting people while walking the Los Angeles Flower District Wednesday morning. "Polo" at Floral Prop Rental (need arches, pedestals?) hammed it up for the camera. Company celebrating 40 years this year. Sensation Flowers, Milagra (corner of 8th and Wall), Moskatel's, Floral Supply Syndicate, Natural Floral - saw them all. And shot the photo at left - glorious golden mini-calla lilies.

Great to see the new Flower Market Restaurant and Cafe at 765 S. Wall Street. It shines with a somewhat spartan decor in green and white (appropriate for March) and tasty breakfast and lunch dishes.

I'll add a little history of the area, along with facts and trivia, for the May/June issue of The Bloomin' News - http://www.bloominnews.com/ .
