The Flower Market

Madame Lambert invited me to go to the once a year flower market near the airport in Nice. It was very nice. She chatted everyone up. They also had fruits and vegetables, wine, olive oil, cheese and animals for decoration and as pets. The had the most beautiful rabbits.
Many vendors were Italian. Right across the border in Italy are some wonderful flower producers. The weather and the soil are perfect there.

89 year old woman that Madame Lambert started a conversation with. She told me to be sure to fertilize the new rose that I bought the minute I got home.
