Flowers in Germany


Fresh flowers play a big part in German culture.  It is very common to bring a bouquet to someone's house when you're invited for dinner or for someone's birthday.

We cut these from a self-cut field by our house.  It's cool to be able to choose whatever you want and to cut them whenever you want.  (You just leave your money in a metal box).  They are also cheaper than the ones in the grocery stores.

Next time, I want to bring my camera to the field.  There are big sunflowers there now, too.

I LOVE IT!! What a neat idea, a place to pick your own flowers. It is nice that they will live longer since you pick them when you want instead of from the store. They are beautiful!
