The first six photos were all taken just outside the south wall of one of the largest cemeteries in São Paulo. The back of these small shops (to your right) is the wall of the "Cemitério do Santíssimo Saramento/Araça" on Avenida Doutor Arnaldo. There are dozens of these vendors along this street.
This is a very busy street and it is easy to see how much of the sidewalk has been taken up to accomodate these flower shops.
The flowers are simply gorgeous. I was amazed that so many people can make a living selling flowers to those whose loved ones are interred in this cemetery.

There is probably stretch of about the lenght of two large city blocks of the shops.
We did not see a lot of people purchasing flowers while we were here, but it was in the middle of the day. Perhaps the shop keepers are busier just before regular working hours begin and at the end of the work day.
However, not to be outdone by the dazzling display of all these beautiful blooms above, Jerry has been able to get her violets to produce gratifying results down here in Brazil. It may be due to her tender loving care or it could be the climate here. Or maybe a little of both!
Congratulations Jerry.
