If you have been reading my recent posts, you know I am in New York to attend a wedding. 
I am helping my sister with the flowers for the church and at a pre-wedding luncheon. In preparation for the upcoming event, we made an early morning visit to the wholesale flower market on 28th Street on the West Side of Manhattan. I was just stunned by the volume, variety and quality of the flowers on offer. Thankfully, I remembered to stuff my camera into my jacket pocket and got tons of photos. I won’t put much commentary… just enjoy the following photos (first one is of cut hydrangeas):
Peonies in stunning shades of pink and white…
Anemonies…
Roses in the hottest colors of the season…
Calla lillies and boxed amaryllis…
Delphiniums…
Tulips…

Nice photos! Did you get the new camera?
Wonderful photos!It looks like flower heaven.
Tom, I chickened out of new SLR. My wife said it was too much camera for me. Will have to do with my old one for now. I am of the shoot 12 photos and hope one comes out usable school of photography…
Ha! Ha! Marketman, the 1 out of 12 does not show in the photos you post. They are beautiful and mouth watering (although there was one dissenting opinion on the suman photo). Well, I guess 1 out of your many satisfied, appreciative and eager readers is not a testimony to your lack of skills in photography.
I hope you get to post your lily-of the valley photo. Thanks for coming up with such beautiful photos and wonderfully informative posts. God bless you!
Hi Marketman, I was just in Seattle and went wild over the peonies. Got a few for my hotel room, and it was a great way to wake up in the morning to look at glorious lush flowers instead of the grey rainy sky. I also bought a bunch of sweet peas, a fresh flower that isn’t too sturdy but is a lovely spring bouquet.
Enjoy your flower shopping spree.
MM, there’s now G11 to replace your G10. I feel the same thing…..I bought a Nikon DSLR with a 18-200 lens and I am thinking whether to return it and just get a G11.
