We thought of this song recently when we passed by the flower stand on the northwest corner of East 116th Street and Lexington Avenue this past weekend.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/20101019-041218.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/20101019-041218.jpg?w=225\" alt=\"\" title=\"20101019-041218.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-9313\" srcset=\"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/20101019-041218.jpg 480w, http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/20101019-041218-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>This particular flower stand has an abundance of fresh roses, sunflowers, daisies and mixed flowers for sale-more so than other Bodega stands in Harlem. The flowers at this stand are all beautifully stacked and grouped accordingly where it makes the street-walker stop, look and buy. That&#8217;s what happened to us. We ended up buying two dozen colored roses for $10 and a bouquet of daisies for $5! What a deal! <a href=\"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/20101019-041350.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/20101019-041350.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" title=\"20101019-041350.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-9314\" srcset=\"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/20101019-041350.jpg 480w, http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/20101019-041350-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>This stand has to be one of the least expensive places with gorgeous product in the area. We wanted to buy more flowers, such as the mustard colored sunflowers for $5 or mixed flowers for $8! However, we only had two sets of hands. We&#8217;re going back though.
