Top of the Town 2011

Time after time, we find ourselves strolling into this quaint Bonnie Brae flower shop just to lose ourselves for a few minutes. Surrounded by the scent of exotic blooms and the vibrant colors of peonies, delphinium, and sunflowers freshly cut from the backyards of Denver growers, it’s impossible not to feel your spirits rise. If you’re lucky, one of the four DeLine sisters, who have owned and operated the shop since 1997, will cheerfully sort through stems with you to create just the arrangement you’re looking for. Taking time to smell the roses has never been so sweet. 709 S. University Blvd., 303-765-2008, www.littleflowermarket.com
