As we have explored the area, I’m drawn into the flower shops. Many of the plants are unique, beautiful and really expensive. From the street in Yokosuka, I could see the orchids on the back wall of this florist shop.
I’m not sure I have ever seen an orchid with so many blooms. The huge white one on the right is all one plant and sells for ¥18,000 or $180. The small purple one beneath it is ¥5,000 or $50. Needless to say, I didn’t purchase either.
They also had an assortment of cut flowers you could use to have the florist make you a personalized fall bouquet.
Also available was a pumpkin for ¥3240 or $32.40.
Of course, it is never too early to start thinking about Christmas. This Christmas cactus was gorgeous and only ¥6,000 or $60.00.
Outside there were smaller plants on display.
I didn’t purchase any of these beauties. Besides my front porch plants, the only house plant I have purchased was a money tree from the ¥100 store. It was $1.00. I added my own pumpkin decoration for free!
Also in this picture is a sneak peak at the backsplash I put up in the kitchen. Stay tuned for more house photos in the near future.
