When one thinks of the Flower Seller, one may think of the flower lady selling flowers door to door like lucky heather, of the lady selling flowers on the street corner. But in any given year there were men flower sellers.
Take the case of Frederick & Mary LEE from Notting Hill. In 1901,
they are listed as flower sellers residing in Kensington. A few others inlude,
teenager Ellen LEWIS in Clerkenwell, Florence HART, and Brixton's own Elizabeth WILSON, the flower seller of Islington. ;) :D 8)

Probably one of the most seen and photographed flower sellers of London was Lilly Cooper of Piccadilly Circus. You can see her in this photo:
