Bow Street Florist in Somerville, MA is the sort of flower shop I wish was my neighbor. The shop is a weather worn kelly green and there is a floppy eared rabbit living in the front window. The woman who helped me understood exactly what I had in mind when I said I wanted a pink arrangement that was not too tight and had more greens. She mixed cream colored cabbage, pink geraldine roses, and these greens that consist of leaves and small green buds that look a bit like fat water droplets.

She also put together some lovely dark, dark purple elliptical shaped leaves on a long stem, free spirit roses which are tomato and golden colored, and faded purple asters.
