Orchids plants on London Bridge

As usual, I just get to the Vauxhall market to buy flowers. Today the traffic was infernal and I just buy 10 beautiful orchids plants. Take some pictures of the market flowers

and on the road again. Today my target place to offer flowers it is London Bridge. My 10 orchids plants look so great in that 2 bags what I have it. Because I was late, 10.30 there was so many people on the bridge. Anyway, I was there to do something nice, something that I like to do it. But because I was so close to the water the wind was strong. My orchids plants just fell it, the same problem with the banner. I just keep the orchids in the bags. Nop… It was just a fight with the wind, and no chance to win. I just let a flower to a lady from the shop in front of me and I go.

Wind and orchids plants

Running away from the wind, I just offer another flower to a lady to the gate on London Bridge station. I saw a big a simile on lady’s face. I just spend a few minutes at the station to decide where should I go. OK, I will go to Stratford, is in my way to Ilford, guess what I just see the lady with the orchids plant what I give her before, she starts taking pictures on the flower. I just felt something nice, before she offers me a smile now I see her take the pictures on the orchids plant. That means she really likes it, I was happy.

I just take the train (Jubily) to Stratford. There on the left side when you came out from Jubily, it is Pret coffee. I just sow the 2 ladies working inside. Live the bag and the banner outside, take 2 orchids plants with me for the ladies. She was surprised, like everyone she asks me what reason, why? I sow how she starts smiling and take the orchids plant. Another lady came from my back and get close to her. Now there are 3 ladies, ok I told her, I will go and bring

one more.

5 more orchid plant left

Westfield mall- that is the target. What can I say, 3 orchids plants just fly there. The same ladies ask me, what is the reason? In the end, they smile and take the orchids plants. I still have 2 flowers to offer. I go to the train to Ilford, I have something to do today at 12:00, and now is 11:05. In the train, I take a seat next to 2 old ladies. They have white hair, really white like in movies. The lady next to me she told me that she loves the color. And orchids are her favorites flowers, purple orchids plants. Really? Do you like it? Then… you can have it, it’s yours. And I offer the purple orchid plant to her. The other orchid I offered to the other lady. All the road to Ilford we have a chat.

In the end, the date of 15 September was a good day for me.

Shades of Romeo - A new day of Love

No reason for a Flower

You don’t need a reason to offer flowers to a woman

Last week I was speaking with my friend about my project. Shades of Romeo — A new day of Love.

I try to explain to him that a lot of time men is taking the flowers. He told me that is ok because in the end that flowers will get to a woman and this is mine objective. He has totally true, yep I just have to agree with him.

Monday is a good day to offer some flowers on the streets. Like usually go to Vauxhall market and after that to Liverpool Street station. It takes me some time, especially as I take the public transport.

Today I just buy 10 orchids. They are not so big, but they look nice. Jumping on the bus 344, there were more people like usually, but was ok I did not broke any flowers. On the road to Liverpool Street, I just saw a lot of people on the London Bridge, o… that is a very good spot for me. Next time I will go there.

I just get there, in Liverpool Street station and I start to prepare the banner. In 2 minutes a man just came to me and ask me if the flowers are for free. I told him, yes and if he wants one I will be glad to give him, but first I have to put the stickers on and take some pictures after that. Wait for me 5 min and you will have one. He really waits for me, the first flowers I just give it to him. I remembered the conversation with my friend Theo, a woman will get that flower in the end.

Free flowers on the streets

After that, a woman just came to me and ask me what’s the reason that I give flowers for free? I start to explain that you don’t need a reason, just like that.

-Would you like one, is for free?

-For free? really? just like that for no reason, o thank you very much. ( she told me.) On her face, I can see the surprise and a beautiful smile. “She smiled with her face”. THAT WAS A GREAT SMILE.

I just saw 2 Asiatic ladies waiting for the bus. They were talking to each other and watching me. I just go to them and offer flowers for both. They were looking so strange to me and ask me:

-why? why are you give us flowers?

-just like that, no reason, I’m sorry if you don’t like it. It is for free, you want it?

-For free? really? of course, I like it; and both of them take the flowers. I just go back to my place and take other flowers in my arms. Watching that 2 ladies going to the buss, one of them before to get on the bus, she turned to me and smile. I left my head slightly in gratitude.

I just finish all the flowers, and I left home. Today I take a free day of work, I fill a little more tied. But anyway I get my pictures, I get the story … it was a good morning for me.

See you next time on London Bridge.
