My ipad seems to be having issues uploading photos. I'm going to try again with this one, apologies for the storage photos last time on this post.
I am wandering back through photos and adventures I've had on this trip. I am currently in Brooklyn, we just finished a back to back wedding weekend which was beautiful and exhausting. It is wonderful to be working with flowers over here.
This post goes back to a splendid handful of days we spent in Chamonix. We were there to see the Alps, see my boyfriend run an ultra marathon trail race through the Alps covering 119km and just over 27 hours of tenacity on his behalf and to look at flowers in the Alps{on my behalf}.
The flowers adorn an incredible cafe called Chalet La Floria which is a strolling 50 minute hike up from Chamonix, a winding pine avenue which crosses little glacial rivers.
The Chalet was built by a couple about 20 years ago on a small outcrop 1337m above sea level. They brought in 4000 flowering plants including a riot of geraniums, dahlias, begonias, fuchsias, echinacea, sea holly, daisies and edelweiss. They still run the cafe now and have a great photo album of the build. They brought everything up by helicopter and four wheel drive. Such an ambitious and splendid dream realised. It was peaceful and incredibly beautiful up there.
