French Windowsill

Medieval towns were short on yards.  In fact, they usually didn't have any so if you want flowers, you have to grow them in pots on the windowsill.  And they do a nice job.  Begonias, amarylis and geraniums add bright colors to an otherwise bland house.

French Begonias

The street markets in rural France sell just about anything you need or don't need. Fruits, veggies and roasted chickens abound everywhere and on certain days the flowers take over. Unlike our flowers markets that focus on the cut variety, the outdoor markets in France specialize on the potted kind.
