Flowers

Every Wednesday at lunchtime in the city (downtown Brisbane) is a farmer's market at Brisbane Square. You can buy fresh fruits and veggies from local farmers, fresh cheeses, pastas, breads, seafood, flowers, herbs...you name it. It's also a great place to grab some lunch as there are many vendors who sell delicious meals. I've met Chris at this market a few times, and we grab a bit of lunch, or some herb plants to add to our balcony garden, or some fresh fruits and veggies. Even though the market is crazy busy, I like walking from vendor to vendor and looking at the lovely things they have to offer.


Well, this Wednesday I came home to a lovely surprise. Chris had gone to the market on his lunch break and bought me some beautiful orchids. I've never had orchids before, so it was a really lovely surprise. I love how delicate the flowers are, and how vibrant the purple colour is. I wish that they could last forever, but I'll just have to enjoy them while they last...I guess that makes them even more special.
