Self Serve Flowers

As you drive along the countryside of southern Germany, you will, on occasion, see a field of tulips or daffodils with a large sign and stand next to the field. Upon closer inspection, you’ll discover (if you read German), that the flowers in the field are for sale. Pick 1 tulip for .45 Euro and put the money in the little box on the stand. It’s all on the honor-system, but it seems to work here… and how fun that you get to pick your very own bouquet!

I tell you, that honor system would not work in Kenya!

How fun! you get the thrill of picking the flowers without the work of growing them!

Hello! I jogged past you yesterday evening... and thought... I know them... then thought... well, I enjoy their blog... so I just said a polite hi and kept jogging. I work in the same office with Thad and Jana Hoskins. And they pointed me to your blog. ... I love it!!!
