It's the Chaupain Artisan bakery. They have several outlets here in SoCal, which I have never seen. But they come every week to our local farmer's market.

Are the dark ones in shadow, or are there purple beans I don't know about?

Glad to see you're out & about! 🏃‍♀️

Depending on the locations and weather conditions of where they’re grown. Even the pastry treats are more tempting at your farmers market than they are here..maybe that’s a good thing!

Some of them are truly purple! And some are green. This market is well known for crops that you don't see in the "standard" grocery stores.

It's always great to be there, especially when I get a great parking place out on the street! It's been very rare this year. The walk is much shorter and easier from there.

I like to put a mug of milk in the freezer until it gets a crust of ice of the surface of the milk - then it is delightfully extra cold for washing down a bite of a scrumptious confection.

it answered:
This image features a white lily flower with distinct, dark-colored stamens prominently displayed in the center.
White lilies such as this are often symbolically associated with purity, renewal, and rebirth.

I like symbolism.

Thanks again Peggy!

You realize, of course, that I am now needing to make a side trip to my favourite patisserie in the morning. . . .profiteroles, eclairs, croissants, operas.. . sighhhhhh. And, fortunately, there is a wonderful flower shop next door. The peppers, alas, will not be available for at least a month, or six weeks (provided no hail, and no more fires!!! ).

Such joyous beauty on this full moon day.

I hadn't realized that these pastries had such an effect on you. But it's all good!

Enjoy your pastries from your favorite patisserie! And the flowers from the wonderful flower shop!

Bringing joyous beauty is my goal! Thank you for telling me of my success.
