With all those community gardens, balconies, conservatories, windowsills and actual proper back gardens (for the rich or lucky), I started to wonder where New Yorkers actually bought their plants. And I found this out on a chance wander around downtown Manhattan en route to Greenwich Village.
This is the New York Flower District! And I just happened to stumble across the exotics section...
There were cut flowers for sale, including loads of proteas:
And you'll be pleased to know that I did briefly wonder if I could buy one of these and have it shipped over to the UK...
I'm willing to bet several people have tried to get one of those home on the Subway before now. They could probably do it. The Subway is much larger than the London Underground, and I've seen people lugging their Chelsea Flower Purchases onto the Tube at Sloane Square.
