Wares in one of the shop windows

My first encounter with this innovative florist
was quite accidental.
I was driving through Lange Gasse
on a late November night,
when I noticed
an upside down Christmas tree
in their store window.
The creativity displayed in those windows
has drawn me back there again and again.

Buchfeldgasse/Josefstädter Strasse

The house reflected in the shop window
of a flower shop on Josefstädter Strasse
was the birthplace and family home of
Nobel Laureate Karl von Frisch (1886 - 1982),
who pioneered studies in bee communication and foraging.
Swiss poet Gottfried Keller spent
"the happiest days" of his life there in 1874 ,
as guest of von Frisch's mother, Marie von Frisch.

It is gloomy where I am! I need to see beauty to brighten my day.
ReplyDeleteThat white rose is a beauty.
The windows you show, Merisi, all have a unique history behind them. Thank you for enlightening us.
