Field Trip - The Florist Wholesale House

I went to Portland yesterday on a hunting, gathering expedition. Here's the big warehouse you first walk into.

It is here that I can lust after various tools of the trade.

Plus there's a whole section devoted to local growers.


Always something seasonal.

More beauties to lust after.

These big yummy yummies are grown in Tillamook.

Hanging Red Amaranth. Also called Love Lies Bleeding.

Looks like big underwater creatures to me.

And every once in a while there's something I've never seen before -

Like this cardboard box full of wierd and strange fruits.

Apparently they're some kind of wild cucumber (?).

Stunningly beautiful. Hunter Gatherer Happiness.
