Colombo Flower Guys
A few Saturdays ago I got a rare chance just to go out and take photographs. It was a Poya Day so most of the stores were closed but as usual, the Flower STalls outside one of the Hindu Temples in the Wellawatta area along Galle St. were open for business.
The fragrance is wonderful as you walk by and the colours magnificent. Thankfully, these guys were fine with me taking their photo as they worked. There was much comraderie among the various stalls and a bit of competition as one group put white jasmine flowers around my neck so another group added purple flowers.
There’s a definite technique to tying the flowers onto the strings – these guys were really fast!
