Desert rose, anthuriums, pothos and more, slowly appeared.
During my drive along the new road to work, this morning, I soaked in the environment, noticing many establishments that were not present last year.
A variety of flower pots had appeared, some earthenware and others made with cement. Tall, short, cylindrical and box-like. Some decorated or painted, others not.
Coupled with them were mini-gardens beautifully coiffed with an assortment of tropical flowers.
One of them stood out, the gardeners seemed to have a plan, planted or manicured to show different heights of color. So much skill but a ‘homeless’ skill. Of course the owners of these mini gardens were nowhere to be found at that time of the morning. Trusting that no one would dare pinch any of their wares.
Left behind, were small boards of untidily written phone numbers, just in case a potential customer turned up.
These stalls were not there last year. I remember very well as I wrote about the lone coconut seller.
In these parts businesses spring up when no one is looking. When they arrive they soon have company and trade together. It must be lucrative otherwise it would not be attractive. Similar plants and pots are sold in the open area, and use the space well.
I guess the road will not be expanded anytime soon so they occupy the space till someone decides it is time for them to leave. I wonder what else will surface at the same time next year.
