He is different to the others in that he has a huge basket full of flowers, rather than a few roses nicked from someone's garden

Yes that is Willy Thorn the flower man, but there is another flower man who is taller
and thinner than Willy, who as been around a few years.
he just walks around with a few roses.but doesn't say anything.
always see him on the Fethiye/Calis dolmus.

Walking around with a few roses IMHO does not make you a flower man (or woman). I know the guy you mean, I assumed he was a gypsy too.
Walking around with a huge heavy basket full  of flowers that are hand tied and have a lovely selection of different flowers in each bunch all wrapped in cellophane and a set price being charged for each bunch, again IMHO does make you a flower man.

IMHO, I'm sure the BSI audit team would appreciate your input the next time they assess Flower Sellers.  :)

IMHO,  I think after buying so many flowers both in Calis and always buying when we are elsewhere abroad i.e., a bunch of flowers in Tallin for our cabin on a cruise, always bring back flowers and bulbs from the Flower Market in Amsterdam. I got a lovely bunch of Bird of Paradise flowers in Maderia to bring home and of course at home in Scotland where I usually buy about 4 bunches per week.  I think I may know just a little about this subject. 
I would be happy to be a consultant on flower buying, glad you appreciate my expertise KKOB, put a word in for me will you?  If I ever get to the wilds of Wales I would be happy to help you too.  ;) ;D :P : :)

In my not so humble opinion, we should get back on topic   ;)

He is nothing like a gypsy Jacqui. he has got a nice suit and always dressed smart. I think hes a guy just trying to make a kuros,
as he must be well in his 70s.
