.my little plant man.

When I moved in
July
I promised myself I'd have more
plants and flowers in my new place
(that I would not kill a slow and painful death)
so I headed over to The Flower Stall
in the East Village
(despite moving further away from it)
where I usually get my plants.

I loved it there because it was small
had cats
and the owner, Cornell Edwards,
knew and loved all the plants
even to the point I always felt like I was
adopting
one of his babies.

But arriving I saw the sad sign that
the place has closed
due to the owner's passing.

Unfortunately no one knows
what'll happen to the little store
that time and people have seemed to forget about.

But read a little bit about it
at EV Grieve which includes a great portrait of the owner.
