birds of paradise, and um, ginger flowers? anybody?
sampaguita, a type of extremely fragrant jasmine; the national flower of the philippines.
bromeliads--okay, not a flower, but still pretty.
another one i need help with--any ideas? i love it, though, so unusual.
milflores, or "a thousand flowers". somehow, hydrangea doesn't sound as romantic.
have a good weekend, everybody!
hi milgwimper--any time :)
ReplyDeletehi your highness--thanks for the information! i knew you'd pull through :)
Ooooo, love the pretty flowers! I think milflores sounds much better than either hydrangeas or the French name, hortensia (with a silent H, bien sur...). Wish I could have been with you at the market, I would have been there for hours....
ReplyDeletehi viv! hortensia! wow, so that is the definition behind the name. so old fashioned, like the flower.
ReplyDeletethe market isn't as well-stocked in produce as the markets in the states and in the uk, but the cooked food stalls more than make up for it. i think you'd have a great time here.
