The Flower Mart


If you like flowers or have been looking for flowers for someone and you've never been to the Flower Mart near downtown Los Angeles, you don't know what you're missing.

Open for both retail and wholesale business you can find the largest selection of flowers and plants you could ever hope for. It's located on Wall Street between 7th and 8th Street. There are a few individual shops on the street then one open marketplace with numerous vendors with varied flowers and plants for sale.
You can buy individual bunches of flowers to create your own arrangment or purchase one of many bouquets of flowers ready to put in a vase. On my trip I spent $18.00 and had enough flowers to fill two vases. They have everything you need to create the floral arrangement of your choice and at a lower price than buying them from a local flower shop.

The visual allure and the intoxicating aroma will hook you!

Interesting, $18 worth of flowers and that was enough to fill two vases. I wonder what flowers they were. The flowers perhaps are grown in one of the only flower fields in the country. Very Cool!!

I love your pictures of the Flower Mart! I used to live in Portland Ore. and I got a job in teh flower mart there. I stocked their supplies and filled florists orders- did not work in cut flowers- but the smell of those flowers was intoxicating! Thanks for the visual stimulation to some great memories!
