WeekendPhotos: I went to the local market and bought some flowers

in weekendphotos •  7 years ago 

Recently I saw a @sardrt photo here that reminded me how much I love these plants during the summer season. But I wasn't recalling its name, I also called them "Paper flowers" because when dried they look artificial, like made of fine paper.

I spend the last day's trying to guess its name, but I decided to ask for someone who's seeling it! Much more easier, right?!

This morning on the local market when I saw those flowers I immediatly "run" to them to ask to the lady the flower's name!!

I got so fascinated looking to the flowers that I ended boughting those...

Statice flowers!!

Also called sea lavender (Limonium sinuatum), statice cut flowers are long lasting in the vase, whether fresh or dried.

I prefer them dried, that's why I placed them in a pot without water

Fruits & veggies

When I got home I took some photos of the fruits and veggies boughted reminding the #fruitsandveggies challenge by @barbara-orenya. But it has already end, so these photos aren't running!

I'm just sharing because these fruits are mainly sold on summer months!

I bought (from up left to right) eggs, lettuce, cucumbers, peaches, tomatoes, cherries, melon, watermelon and statice flowers!!

Thank you so much!! I didn't realize there was an ending time for the challenge when I read your post on my smartphone (probably that was my problem), but it's ok! I'm happy to be sharing the photos. Thanks for your reestem!

my pleasure my dear !

Great post. Brilliant idea of fruits and veggies ;)))) Looks so delicious :) I love cherries too. The best is to pick them up from the trees. Like I did one week ago in my uncle garden ;) Have a good one ;)

Oh lucky to have the chance to pick it from the tree!! :) My grandpa used to have a​ cherry tree, but I didn't like its cherries, they weren't sweet ;)

I exactly know about which one cherries you are writing. There two types sweet and sour. :)

The sour cherries weren't dark as these ones!! But they were for free and 2 or 3 in 10 were enough sweet!! (Just trying to find positive aspects about those my grandpa use to produce) ;) Have a great weekend!!

This is making me hungry...

That's a good compliment!;) Thanks!

I don't know what I like in the post more, the flowers or the cherries.
Although the flowers are beautiful cherries are just so juicy and delicious haha
Luckily we can have both in life

Cherries, always cherries because they can be eaten, these flowers don't! ;)

Wow, everything looks so fresh and colourful!

Usually, watermelon is even more reddish​. We haven't much luck with this one, but it's sweet, and that is what really matters! :) Thanks for dropping by!

I agree cherries first lol The flowers are so pretty :)

These cherries are like little chocolate candies, yum! ;) Thanks! Have a great weekend @karenb54!

I love Cherries, once you start eating them you can't stop until there's none left, I am so jealous @liliana.duarte

Ups, wish I could send some for you! It's not possible to eat all those at once, I bought 1,5 kg...that's plenty! Do you have cherries there too?

They are starting to be on sale but dont look as gorgeous aa yours :)

I must confess some of these are a bit too mature as its season is ending, but I prefer this way. Must be careful if wearing white clothes because these cherries paint everything! ;)

Lol my fingers usually get painted :)

If were only the finger to get tainted, not bad!! My white balcony suffers a bit ;) Nothing a bit of bleach won't solve!

@liliana.duarte Great clicks. Thanks for the post.
I have posted some Blue lotus here https://steemit.com/photography/@pps/indian-blue-lotus-or-blue-water-lily

such a wonderful selection you got the flowers are lovely but the fruit and veggies is making me hungry

If this gets​ you hungry, then it's a good sign!! It means photos are appealing ;) Thanks fo the ​ comment!
