Antique scenic post cardCirca 1910s
M. Sternberg, Stationer & Bookseller
Pictorial Post Card Dealer, 68 Queen's Rd. H.K.
WYNDHAM STREET SCENE
Central, Hong Hong.
In the early 20th century, Wyndham Street was nicknamed "Flower Street" because of the numerous stalls selling flowers. In 1928, the flower stalls were moved to D'Aguilar Street and the "Flower Street" name became attached to the new location.
Today dozens of shops and wholesalers on D'Aguilar still sell fresh blossoms and luck-bringing houseplants to enthusiastic crowds all year round. But the lead up to Lunar New Year is when things really heat up, as families flock towards the market to carefully select flowers and greenery that attract good luck and fortune.
