#TBT (1955) – There was a time when a stroll down Franklin Street would invariably take you past the "flower ladies," who sold fresh-cut blooms there for decades. They weren't in it for the profit. "I reckon the best you're gonna do is swap your money," Lillie Pratt told the Greensboro News & Record in 1983. "These seeds cost a lot more than they used to, and lordy, you ought to try to fight the bugs." By 1999, the Chapel Hill Herald reported that there seemed to be only two flower ladies left, but neither were actively selling. In 2012 a local blogger noted that Lillie Pratt sometimes still brought blooms to sell. Photo from the Roland Giduz collection.
