Plant souk

Plant soukBuying plants at stores here is expensive - $40 for a small house plant.  Instead, most people go to the outdoor plant souk.  The bay above has everything from tiny cacti to small trees.  The souk has 10 bays like this. 

plant souk petunias Plants at the souk are very cheap.  An entire box of petunias (24 plants) is $6.  I don’t know the price of petunias in the US, but $.25 per plant seems cheap. 

I bought a bunch of small and large plants.  Now we’ll have to see how it takes for me to kill them.

  2. Price is similar - you can get annual bedding plants frequently for the sale price of $1.50/4
