See more images by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/timbeckenham/">timbeckenham</a> at <a href="http://www.flickr.com">flickr</a>.</span></div><p>Well, its not really news or anything noteworthy.  But we live quite near to a pretty cool Flower & plant market located on the north-eastern corner of Changshou Lu & Wanhangdu Lu.  The area around this intersection is known as Cao Jia Du.  

<p>This market was opened as a replacement for the famed <a href="http://www.shanghaiist.com/archives/2005/10/19/rip_jingwen_flo.php" title="Shanghaiist: RIP Jingwen Flower Market">Jingwen Flower & Plant Market</a> which closed late last year.</p>

<p>Anyhow, its a cheap cheap, cheap place to buy flowers and big indoor plants.  If you're missing oxygen while living in Shanghai, I'd recommend several indoor plants to help scrub away the pollution.  If like me and you don't have one of those fancy expat family buses, each stall has friendly tricycle delivery guys can bring your massive plants to your apartment.   What prompted this little tidbit?  Well, I think Linda really wants some more indoor plants to <strike>kill</strike> spruce up our apartment.  ;)</p><p>This entry was posted with <a id="flickr_badge_uber_wrapper" href="http://www.flickr.com" id="flickr_www"><strong style="color:#3993ff">flick<span style="color:#ff1c92">r</span></strong></a></p></p>]]>
