Today's photos from El Segundo's Farmer's Market . . . just a few . . .

Not sure what these are, but they looked interesting . . .



A closeup of the above; these are prettier!



And finally, some roses!

Unique is certainly the word for those 2 photos! I stared at the flowers for a few minutes, trying to decide what they are, and should I take a photo of these exotic flowers?

Well, I still don't know what they are, but I did decide to get a picture!

Lovely photos, Miss Peggy, and I admit I clicked on for the berries n pasties you’ve spoiled us with!

This market usually has white roses. These looked different to my eye.

This market doesn't usually have the berries n pastries that I see on Tuesdays. I will fetch one from some other day, so you can continue to be spoiled!

Hope this helps!

They are denser than roses and have frilly petals. They are beautiful and interesting. The photos are incredibly good. Thanks for posting them, Peggy.

They certainly are interesting; I wish I knew what they are.

My pleasure to share!

I think these could be Lisianthus sometimes called Texas blue bells. A guess. (Mr. Fallout is a plantsman)

How very cool to be married to a plantsman! Texas Blue Bells. I visited Texas once, but I don't think I saw these flowers.

However, it IS a big state and there are lots of flowers!

I think your mystery flowers are called
Prairie gentian or Lisiathus.
Rose like bloom that has a long vase life.
