dahlia speed
While considering what to say for today's positive thing, I remembered the pleasure my mother always got from daisies. Which reminded me of the Dahlia flower stalls in Grand Central Terminal. 
The sales people are friendly and quick, and the flowers are gorgeous and colorful. Furthermore, because they're a direct importer, the flowers are extremely fresh and last a long time, as long as ten days or two weeks depending on the flowers. The flowers range from 'normal' (mums, gerber daisies, asters) to seasonal (heather, sunflowers) to commemorative (roses, lilies) to super (alstroemeria, freesia, sunflowers, tulips, orchids....) and fabulous (birds of paradise, lisianthus...). They have a master designer who can create bouquets and special orders - but best of all is that for less than the cost of a quick food lunch (honestly), those of us lucky enough to pass through GCT can have beautiful fresh flowers every week, all week long.
