Yes,,Kell the flowers everywhere... and in the market for sale... they wern't for the tourists... expats perhaps... and those that were living there ... it's a way of life to grow things... and break a bit off and sell it so cheeply...
the worst for me... in the market.. everything I asked about... like from the ginger man... although I could never buy it and bring it back.. was immediately discounted... it really hurt to not get everyone... the worst for me... this blooming clerodendrum quadlacollour.. [ spelling is real off on that one ] a lovrly plant with flowers about to bloom... $3.50.. I've a big one decades old... and still yet to bloom.. ghreen on the top of the leaf.. and a deep maroon on the underside... pictured below... lots of building going on there... guess that helps along with the locals love and facility in growing... guess that drives the market...
