Dadar morning flower market in Mumbai, India.

Right outside the station, under the Dadar flyover flourishes the wholesale flower market, possibly the only one in Mumbai. The tiny, narrow lane is lined with kiosks, stalls and even wooden planks with one thing in common, flowers and the sweet fragrance that awaits us.

A Mumbai taxi with roses piled high on the roof ready for delivery. We found roses, lotuses, gerberas, crimsons, lilies, marigolds, chrysanthemums, peonies to only name a few. There are vendors walking with heavy baskets on their heads and shoulders to catch the local train and supply the flowers all over the city.
