Seattle Flowers

One of the things we noticed walking around Seattle was the beautiful flowers on display all over the city.
Lavender at Pike Place Market
They smelled so good, I couldn't resist buying some home. I love Lavender!
Dhalias in Seattle were gorgeous!
This was my favorite.
They are locally grown and come in a variety of colors. I noticed so much Dahlias that I came home and googled it to find out they are the official city flower of Seattle.
Flower Pots like this are all over the city and beautifully maintained.
I did some research to find out that in 1942, Seattle was established as the City of Flowers. The resolution requested and urged citizens to plant and cultivate a wide variety of flowers to further beautify the city. Awesome.
