I Love LA

I love LA! The LA Flower District that is! I had no idea such a fabulous place existed, so I was pretty excited when some friends suggested a visit during my recent stay in Los Angeles.

Try to imagine more flowers than you have ever seen in one place and you probably won't get close to the number of flowers contained in these ginormous warehouses.



The Flower District is contained within a city block in downtown Los Angeles. Here you will find flowers, vases, floral supplies and just about anything to do with flowers and flower arranging including live plants. Everything is for sale at wholesale prices. It's heaven for flower lovers.





I wanted to stuff my suitcase full of driftwood and old grape vine planters, but I didn't have an inch to spare. Darn my pathological need to over pack!



If I lived in LA, I would be in so much trouble.  These arrangements are so awesome and the prices are incredible.



The creative side of me was itching to grab a vase and some cool decorations, so I could create my own masterpiece.




This seashell wreath would be the perfect backdrop for a floral masterpiece.


Just look at all these plants waiting for a good home.


We stopped over in LA following a cruise to Hawaii. I have to say, I saw lots of orchids in Hawaii, but I saw ten times more orchids in the flower district. 





I don't know what these flowers are, but I totally want them! Don't you think they look like underwater sea life. I think they'd go perfectly with all those sea shells.


There's so much cool stuff in the flower district. Next time I go, I'm bringing a pick up.

  2. Looks like way too much fun. It's probably a good thing you didn't have any room in your suitcase :)

    1. I won't make that mistake when we go to Minnesota. I'll leave plenty of room for all the goodies.

  8. I had my TL a little more than a year ago when my third child was born via c-section. I was not told ANYTHING about the possible side effects of having this procedure. Since then I have experienced heavy bleeding lasting sometimes 3 weeks out of the month, weight gain, severe mood swings. Severe cramping, changes to my libido, severe depression accompanied by suicidal thoughts, headaches, migraines, many new symptoms & older issues are now exacerbated. The father of two of my children doesn't want me anymore. I've become too much of a pain in the ass I guess. We don't talk. We don't sleep in the same bed. I think he might really think I am crazy... & maybe I am. I feel crazy a lot of the time.
    I'm unpredictable. I feel so angry about the whole thing & now what was once a mild fear of doctors has exploded into full on white coat syndrome that causes me to have a panic attack/hypertensive emergency (severe increase in blood pressure) whenever I have to deal with them. I'm not sure what to do... I fear the next time I have to see a doctor I'll have a stroke or a heart attack from the stress & anxiety of it... what do I do? I take my time and keep searching on internet looking for natural healing that how I came across Dr Itua herbal center website and I was so excited when Dr Itua told me to calm down that he will help me with his natural remedy I put my hope on him so I purchase his herbal medicines which was shipped to my address I used it as prescribed guess what? I'm totally healed my cramp pain is gone completely I also used his Anti Bacteria herbal medicines it's works for me very well I want anyone with health problem to contact Dr Itua herbal center for any kind diseases remedies such as Parkinson, Herpes, ALS, MS, Diabetes, Hepatitis, Hiv/Aids,Cancers, Men & Women Infertility, I got his email address drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com he has any kind of herbal remedies for women & men also for our babes. I really miss my Hunni...he's a fantastic father & a good man. He doesn't deserve this. I feel like an empty shell of who I used to be.
