Today is #marketfriday which is a great place to post your local market photography from around the world. This very popular category on steemit is run by my good friend Hive account@dswigle who manages this ever growing group with great efficiency and panache.

First up we have a beautiful single Yellow Rose long associated with warmth and feelings of friendship and love.

I liked this signage and often think where would we be without good signs?

I'm not certain but I think these white flowers below are known as Ox-eye daisies in the UK. What are they called in other countries?

The Jasmine below always reminds me of my time in South Africa where we had this plant growing in the garden. The fragrance on a summers evening was intoxicating.

The red flowers below were striking with their vibrant colour but I didn't get the name of them. Just a riot of red.

The red and white Roses below have deep historical significance in England.

The red Rose was the emblem of the house of Lancashire and the white Rose was the emblem of the House of York.

These two branches of the same family (Plantagenet) were fighting civil wars with each other for over 30 years for the crown of England.

King Edward IV of the York family eventually won the war.

Hope you enjoyed these lovely flowers and the brief history lesson. :)
