Martin’s Bloemen en Planten

Love this flower stand! Not a terribly huge selection, but enough to make you happy. Flowers are beautiful and healthy and decently priced. Bought some (can’t remember the name) and they lasted over a week. Great little stand to have in the neighborhood. We’re having visitors this weekend and will need to stop by to pick up some of these beauties!

This flower stand is located on the busy street between the Anne Frank House and our hotel. before we left home one of our neighbors, who had lived in Holland, suggested we pick up some tulips on the street since we’re going to be in our hotel for 5 days. After we left the Anne Frank House we stopped here. They had a glorious assortment of tulips for € 3.50. Then I saw some beautiful daffodils for about the same price. But when I saw bunches of freesias for € 2 it was all over but the sniffing and the choosing. As much as I love tulips, freesias are my favorite flowers. It was too cold for the smell to fully develop, so I chose a beautiful double pink bunch. I asked if he would prune the ends and he asked which hotel we were staying at and cut them to the perfect length. When we returned to the hotel I requested a vase and a few minutes later a man was at our door w/​two for me to choose from. I chose the taller of the two and the vase and flowers sit beside my computer on the desk, looking beautiful as they open and smelling good.
