One fine Sunday morning I decided to go the world famous Columbia flower Market. This was my third visit and my previous visits were in 2009 & 2010.One of my favourite pastimes is to appreciate the colour and the varieties of flowers in nature. So I was really thrilled to visit these famous stalls which were like "patch work " designs from pastel to dark shades.This market is also famous among photographers. Because I was there early in the morning I was able to film it before the larger crowds arrived. I have tried my level best to make this video short. I hope it will not be too long for the flower lovers to admire the beauty of the wonderful flowers. I have another part to this video which will be added next. Thank you so much for your time in viewing this video. This is a gift from me to all people who love flowers. About Columbia Road Flower Market ============================= Columbia Road is the capital's most colourful, world-famous and sweet-smelling market.It is a street market operated by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. This tiny street gets really busy so go early for the best cut flowers. Even if you don't intend to buy any flowers, this market is great to visit as it is so colorful. It is amazing to see this historic street filled with a bright patchwork of many flower stalls.Thousands of gardeners visit the Flower Market every Sunday to buy bulbs, plants and shrubs, and to see the exotic array of cut flowers, bedding plants and other horticultural delights are all for sale. As well as cut flowers, there are topiary trees, pot plants, hanging baskets and 10 foot banana trees.The air is intense with the scent of flowers.You'll smell it before you see it. Most of the market traders have their own nurseries to produce their own plants or import flowers from around the world. Stock changes every week but expect to find cut flowers, herbaceous plants and shrubs, and an abundance of bedding plants. On Sunday the street is transformed into an oasis of foliage and flowers. It is one of the few streets in the country which is composed with about 100 shops. Small art galleries sit next to cup cake shops, vintage clothes stores, English and Italian delis, garden and antique shops. Some Stalls had been established since 1949 and exist up to now. Some of the Pitch owners have been trading for over 40 years on Columbia Road. Some of them had their own family run business for generations. Music by Stefano mocini & General fuzz from Jamendo.com
