In a town I lived in for a few years, on the main street, there was a flower shop/stand (it was like a greenhouse with the longest side open to the street). As I was walking by to get back to my apartment and the guy working inside the shop said, "wait, wait!" and handed me this beautiful pale pink ranunculus. I was somewhat startled and ungraciously replied, "Thanks?" and he said, "I'm sorry, but until you'd walked by, I thought this was the most beauty I'd see today.
