At the Florist

Throughout the city you will also find gypsies selling flowers. If you are looking for some inexpensive flowers to brighten up your home, then buying from these vendors is a good bet. But, be sure to bargain. Offer then half the price they quote, or negotiate to get three bunches for the price of two for example. Exercise caution when buying from them after dark, since they will often try to sell you flowers that will surely be dead the next morning.

Gypsies also frequently sell packages of lavender. The scent is intoxicating and will make your clothes and wardrobe smell wonderful, so don't hesitate to buy.
