| | | Are you asking because "the" flower market is too far to travel to? | |

| | | "the" Flower Market is in Prince Edward, which is on Kowloon side. Depending on how much you're carrying, it's within walking distance from Prince Edward MTR station (about 5 mins). Low prices, but you have to sift through a lot of low quality stock.
On HK side, try out florists e.g. Agnes B florist in Causeway Bay or Pacific Place (Admiralty):
CWB: 1/F 111 Leighton Rd (2895 1300)
PP: Shop 110 (Tel: 2918 1980)
They have a decent variety, but certainly not everything under the sun. They tend to have a "chic" selection. If you're looking for something in particular, wouldn't hurt to call ahead. And btw, prices are nothing like the Flower Market! | |

| | | I know some of you are gonna call me a tree-hugger, but I don't advocate the sale of cut flowers. If you wanna give flowers and still be eco-friendly, give people rooted plants. It takes a lot of fertilizer to produce those cut flowers, and they just end up in people's trash. | |

| | | Flower Market Is Fun!
I I live close by the flower market and I love to go there even if I just want to unwind.. at the end I GOT BUNCHES OF flowers and plants that I can keep in water.. it's worth going there... you'll just have to learn to walk around and find a good price of the flowers. I just bought yesterday a nice good price Poinsetta and other potted plants..
Buzz me and we can meet if you need help going there.. it's fun..
hope this helps.. hah! | |

It takes a lot of effort to make food too but it just ends up in the toilet 
Easiest is to take the subway there and cab back, although you might need a cab first so you know where to walk too. You should go there early in the morning rather than later. | |

| | | yes, well i live in db and never get there in the morning... and i also like to choose my stems, when you by them so cheaply, usually you are stuck with the bunch that they make up...i also go for the very large buds not the small ones, which are usually cheaper. | | Tools | Search | | | | | Rate This Thread | | | All times are GMT +8.
