Delphi, Indiana: The Flower Shop II
Situated on a corner in a lovely building, The Flower Shoppe 2 in Delphi, Indiana is a green oasis.
Plants and potted flowers line the spacious windows–and give you a clue as to what lies inside!

It may not be common knowledge, but in my own home? Plants and flowers don’t do so well.
If they can’t tell me what they need–they probably won’t get it!
But the people at The Flower Shoppe 2 were so knowledgeable, they pointed me in the right direction. You know, towards the hardier plants.

Too bad I forgot to go back, pay for, and pick up my perfect plant! Don’t you just hate when that happens?
The big, beautiful purple and green plant, the Wandering Jew, in the window? Yeah, that should be in my home as we speak. Looks like I need to make a return trip to this fun Indiana town!
More than just plants and flowers, The Flower Shoppe 2 also has pretty things to put them in! Gardening containers and pots in all shades of the rainbow!
Talk about selection–there’s even a whole area of garden decor in this Carroll County green spot.

So my thumb may be less than green. But that’s okay when you’ve got folks in the know.
When you need to pop in for a gift, there are more than plants and fresh or potted flowers. Stuffed animals, handbags, and more, you can get all your gifts here and be done!
Just don’t forget to look up before you leave–The Flower Shoppe is in an amazing building. Get a load of those detailed pillars and the fabulous tin ceiling! Awesome.

The structure in which this business is housed was erected in 1880 as the Odd Fellows’ Hall, and enjoyed a full service to the community, housing various tailor/clothing shops in the bay where the Flower Shoppe is presently. The last one to occupy that spot was Clifford’s Clothing, which moved due to the economic effects of a disastrous fire which took place in January of 1955, which resulted in the loss of the grand mansard roof and tower on the corner.
The Lodge spent almost one year remodeling and restoring the area, and is now presently meeting on Monday evenings. The IOOF symbol is on the base of the pedestal as you enter the shoppe, and is characterized by three links of a chain, Friendship, Love, and Truth.
I did see that Odd Fellows plaque outside and wondered about it.
I bet that tower and roof was something to see! What a neat feature. So sad.
