Who doesn't know the Olympia Flower Lady?

The Flower Lady on the corner of North St. and Cleveland Avenue is one of my favorite Olympia sights. She's always dressed for the occasion and pulls off being sparkly without appearing gaudy. The Flower Lady looks simply fabulous, despite being a full figured multiple X plus size. However does she do it? I guess it's not so hard looking all glam when you have several people devoted to styling your wardrobe and accessories. I've actually witnessed a wardrobe change while stopped at a red light once.

I imagine the flower lady to be my age and relate to her because she's a fellow business woman. The store Artistry in Flowers is her shop. I've been in there several times, buying potted plants and bouquets, and I'm always tempted to go to the back of the store and peek in the flower lady's closet. It must be quite a sight. Driving by the flower lady always makes me happy, and whenever I have a free minute I stop to take a picture of her.

I only wish I knew her name. She looks like she could be a Betty-Sue, or a Beatrice. What do you think?
