Where to buy flowers?

gvi · Feb 12, 2008

Hi Bayarea ILites

I was just wondering where do you buy flowers if you have a big pooja or something? If you try to buy in shops like Safeway/Raleys it turns out be expensive if its like 2/3 bouquets.

The reason is we have planned for seemantham function and for that lots of flowers and couple of garlands are needed. Just wondering whats the econonomical way to get flowers for that.

Not sure where the temples get their flowers from apart from the one thats grown in their backyard. . It would be great help if you could let me know?

Is there something called flower farm like fruit farm or something called flower picking like fruit picking?

Thanks
Geetha

HI Geeta,

U can get small chrisantimum flower plants from "Lowes" And "Home depot". Useually in September and october I see this small plants in stores. But I never bought the plants in Febravary. So please check the stores.

These plants have 10 to 15 flowers and it costs u only $1 to $2...Below $3.

I hope it helps.

srilak.
