I had to sneak in a few more flower shops and gardens before we came home from Amsterdam

My dream shop – it’s located in an old church – how perfect!

It you find yourself in Amsterdam be sure to check out Urban Green

Gerda’s flowers was so beautiful and the people so friendly!

Pompon was right around the corner from my flat so I cam in almost every day to see ginormous buckets filled with gloriosas, amaryllis and all sorts of lovelies.

This little shop was so darling but the owner was not amused by me taking pictures – make sure you ask in Holland!

The Hortus Botanicus in Amsterdam

The cycad house


Giant water lotus that blooms for only 2 nights then turns it’s face down into the water to form its seeds.

Did I say giant?

Delicate butterfly

Fun little diorama

Shopping for inspiration at the Saturday Market

This blue is so vivid!

I love how these delicate little cosmos catch the light.

Chandelier bits and pieces.

I don’t have enough room in my luggage to bring everything home.

This blue line is just enchanting.

Magical winged being under glass.

Tiny Gardens in the city

I love to see nature taking back what belongs to her.

Someone wants to be outside in the garden.
