Addiction Cured

in #marketfriday5 years ago

Last year I had a post in which I admitted that I'm an addict and you can see that on my profile as well, Yes, I'm and African Violet addict or I was. Today I went to the hypermarket to look for some gardening stuff and as always, the first place I visit is the flower corner. Can't help it, I love flowers and there are always plenty to admire each day.

This was what I saw when I entered. These are all African violets and many of these colors I don't have yet and my first reaction was not to get a leave or two but I said "Oh no!"

These are all beautiful but I guess it's time to move on. I feel like I have enough already and need to concentrate on other flowers as well. I'm planning to buy some cacti :)

No matter what season it is, there are always orchids, many, many orchids. Unfortunately I don't know much about orchids, i know just a few types and this is not one of them, so I call it the hunger striker.

This is not so skinny, it looks better than the other.

This is when the fun began, I saw a lot of gorgeous gerbera daisies. Look at those gradient petals and the colors, isn't it adorable?

Pink is nice but it wouldn't be my first choice unless there were no other flowers to choose from.

I don't know what happened today but I made some very bad photos. I have to be more careful next time.

This is my favorite so far. White with dark brown, what can be more beautiful than this?

I missed you! It was only when I came to repost them and comment on the ones that didn't drop the link that I discovered yours! Are you and @bluemoon on strike about dropping the link. No problem! Eventually, I will find yours and his! :)

I understand the addiction! It is so hard to not buy something that is your favorite! And to be honest, African Violets are really pretty! Have you ever taken a count to see how many you have?

Flowers are so addictive as a species! I have never met a flower that I don't love, even a little bit. I really liked those gerbera daisies and the white one is one that I have and planted in the garden last year. Sometimes they will come back up the next year if it doesn't get too cold! I hope you got the one that you wanted!

As you know, I usually try to have people drop their link so that others can find their post when they are looking through the #MarketFridays post. However, you seem to be doing awesome all by yourself! Wow! Great job!Congratulations on the OCBD and Blocktrades vote!

Upped and Steemed

I know, shame on me, you're always telling me to drop the link and I was going to but I forgot, honestly. It wasn't intentional, I promise 😀
I've been busy lately with translating eSteem in some languages and it takes up quite a bit of my time.
I'm glad you liked these flowers, I thought they are lovely too. Unfortunately I came home empty handed and have to go back next week for rubber boots and hoping to buy some cacti.

I think I have like ten African violets now and something needs to be done because there is no space for more.

Thank you for being kind and always supportive! Have a nice day/evening 😀

Oh, no worries! I am not offended!! :)

I forget all kinds of things and I am so happy to hear that you are translating. Awesome. No worries. I will find you! :) And I hope you have a most wonderful evening/night!

Thank you for your understanding, you're an amazing lady 😉
Tomorrow it's Marketfriday again 😃 so I have to remember to post the link under your post 😎

Thank you!

So you admit you are a serial leaf thief. Imagine a shop having 20 of you coming in the plants would look kind of bare lol.

No, I never said that 😯

This blog is a flower lovers delight @erikah I can just imagine how you would have enjoyed walking amongst all that beauty. Without a doubt, my favourite would have to be those purple and white African violets.They are just stunning, and your daisy macro is superb. Have a great weekend my friend. 🌺

It's always a pleasure to visit the flower and gardening section of the store, can never miss it. It offers a great variety of plants and a great opportunity for me to take photos and learn as well because any time I see something interesting I have to look it up.
Thank you for stopping by and have a nice weekend 😊

The photos are not that bad...maybe the orchids ones need some adjustments. 🙂
Red orchids and gerbera daisies... Well, my name is Roxana and I'm a flower addict. And proud of it. 😊

Well, it's not that bad to be a flower addict but it's pretty bad if you're addicted to only one type 😀

Neah, one can never have too many African violets. 😂

Lol, I think that is not true, I have reached my limits :)

In this case, you can switch to cyclamen. 😂

I have one already 😕 it reminds me of communist times 😟

Found down an alley way with violets sticking out of your arm! What clinic should you attend for the addiction? Roseydandrums anonymous?

😁 Cheeky!
