Flowers For Sale

The in this picture not visble sign 'Te Koop' ('For Sale') isn't valid for this tiny house attached to a tiny, typical Zeeland, The Netherlands, barn.

The owner of this property has a hobby in growing flowers.

Behind this barn there's a garden with a green house for growing flowers.

The knife cuts on both sides, because he sells most of his flowers.

Along the road therefore some buckets are filled with flowers for sale. If you've selected a bunch of them, you have to 'donate' a small amount of money, which has to be put in a box along the road as well, 😁

I asked him whether this box was ever stolen. "Never", was his reply, "as flower lovers aren't thieves."

I agree that flower lovers aren't thieves but other people who travel that road could be - he is wonderfully trusting in this day and age. Great shot Mr.C. and a good narrative too.

A lovely view of the garden and the house behind Cornelius. THe flowers to "pick" look very nice too.

Lovely sight to drive up to, I would not be able to resist stopping and buying a bouquet. Unique way to display the product. Nice capture.

Nice to know that there are still people that are trusting individuals. I would think that most people are struck in awe of the beauty of it to think any harm. Very nice image, Cornelius.

I do like this one my friend, so many flowes, and colors to enjoy. I'm so glad to read that he has not had any problems with being robbed.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
