‘Lee’s Legacy’

Mural honoring the founders of a flower shop in the historic “Black Broadway” district of DC.

From the website of Lee's Flower Shop: Since 1945, Lee's Flower Shop has been the premier florist in Washington, DC, serving the metropolitan area with fresh flower arrangements and additional gifts of all kinds! Lee's is a Black-owned family business, currently operated by the original founders' granddaughters. We know we're the oldest Black-owned flower shop in Washington, DC as well as the oldest DC florist, but we may also be the longest-standing Black-owned flower shop in all of the United States! And for 75 years, we have become the most trusted flower shop in Washington, DC, offering the freshest flowers and most beautiful arrangements for every occasion to our wonderful customers.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Any one can be an "one hit wonder" but being trusted for over 75 years, is something you have to be all the time. Which isn't easy. (credit to Luigi Pirandello) V
