Reason #8 Why I Love Germany: Flowers in Germany

Flowers in Germany are everywhere - yet another reason why I love Germany!

The #8 reason I love Germany is because of all the flowers in Germany.  Germans take pride in their housing, regardless of whether they rent or own, regardless of the size, and regardless of the area they live, cheerful flowers are found everywhere.   In apartment buildings it's very common to see window boxes filled with flowers.  Houses or town houses usually only have a very small yard and it's usually full of cheerful colorful flowers as well.  I really respect how well Germans take care of their homes and the little touches they make to make their home more inviting - such as flowers.  Fresh flowers on the table are also common in Germany and can be bought at a reasonable price at markets.  Sunflowers are in season at the moment and they are everywhere.  Coming from Canada which has a very short growing season, I love having flowers in bloom for much longer than I'm used to.  On a gray cloudy day, nothing cheers you up faster than looking at colorful flowers and fortunately they're found everywhere in Germany, which is another reason why I love Germany.
