Florist


Wherever there is a florist's in Greece, there is probably a a church or cemetery close by, and this particular road is filled with florists, as well as marble stone cutters, another requisite of the traditional final resting place of the Greek people.

  3. I like the florists. I like most when they put the flowers across the sidewalk and see them when we pass by the store.

  5. The Irish spent much time and money tending their graves. There are only two florists in town and they are expensive.
