Notice the extraordinary.

I recently had the opportunity to visit the 28th Street Flower Market in New York City and it impressed me, as always. Peonies, poppies, roses, lilies and flowering branches are all in season. The street was filled with blooming bedding plants and vibrant green boxwoods.  The wholesale shops were filled with life. On your next trip to New York City, be sure to get up early and make your way to 28th Street and 6th Avenue. It is a treat.                                            ...

During the quarantine, I gave my neighbor 12 stems of bright yellow cubana roses. There was still snow on the ground, she was not leaving the house and she was alone.  The look on her face seeing the flowers was of pure joy and surprise.  She had not had fresh flowers in her house for years. She later told me that having fresh flowers in her home was like having a companion.  She watched them all day and night. The roses performed for her in more ways than one. The pandemic has put everything into perspective.   What is luxury? Health. Home....
