Funerals, Weddings, Anniversaries and Baby Births--- Harmon's and Barton's on Congress Street has been a part of the Portland floral scene since 1887. I knew they were an integral part of the city's history, but was amazed that they go back that far. This image is taken of the back side of the shop facing Free Street. Dad always said, "Best flowers in the city!" Now, as for that statement, I really can't say. For after all, they are just... flowers! Flowers for gosh sakes! Dad, come on!

I like everything of this picture and this shop: the pavement, the colors and the odd reflection. It is always pleasant to find something still going fine after almost a century and half!
