As I slowly ascend the hills of Beacon Hill, admiring the charming red brick homes, something at the end of the street catches my eye—a storefront with distinctive green and white awnings. On this stunning autumn day, with vibrant orange, yellow, and red leaves scattered across the sidewalks, could I have stumbled upon one of the most beautiful flower shops I’ve ever seen?
Right outside the shop, baskets brimming with colorful pumpkins welcome visitors. The intricate dried flower arrangements immediately capture my attention, and without hesitation, I pick out two. My favorite window seat at home is already waiting for them.
Rouvalis Flowers has become a place I visit every season, transforming with each one. In spring, it bursts into a dazzling array of colors—tulips, hydrangeas, daisies, succulents, and countless other blooms I can’t even name. Choosing which one to photograph feels almost impossible. It’s a joy to continue my long-standing habit of keeping fresh flowers at home, a tradition I started when I worked in my dental clinic and always had a bouquet nearby. And when it comes to finding the perfect gift for special occasions, Rouvalis Flowers is always one of my top choices in Boston.
This iconic Beacon Hill florist, with its signature green and white awnings, is easily one of the best in the city. Don’t miss the chance to stroll through the historic streets of Beacon Hill with a bouquet in hand—it’s the perfect way to step into a picture-perfect moment.
