Flower Market Rd

The Flower Market is filled with so many beautiful plants. Fresh cut blooms. Bonsai trees. Exotic plants. Citrus trees. And beautiful bouquets. Orchids, roses, bougainvilleas, sunflowers. Such a treat to see and smell so many fragrant blooms. Interesting to also learn about the "Good Fortune Plants." The Lucky Bamboo arrangements are a popular gift. So many Bonsai trees. The miniature trees have been part of local culture for generations. Mandarin trees are a symbol of good fortune and prosperity. Lucky Bamboo is for a happy and peaceful home. Orchids are a symbol of nobility. Peonies represent prosperity and peace. Daffodils are for good luck. Definitely worth a stroll to enjoy the beautiful blooms at the Flower Market in Kowloon.

A great place to visit for plant and flower lovers. The street and side streets is full of stores selling all varieties of plants and flowers. Beautiful orchids and many colors adorn each store. A great area for a leisurely walk through a bonanza of flowers.

I guess I shouldn't be all that surprised that in a place like Hong Kong you are going to have some markets that are highly dedicated to their wares. Well, that is the case with the flower market here, namely that there is a huge range of flower stalls with a huge range of flowers. In fact that is basically all you are going to find here, and that is flowers. In a way this place is pretty impressive.

If you have an interest in flowers and plants, it's worth a trip to the Flower Market for a nice stroll. Even if you don't really have a need to buy something here, just looking at the vast collection of plant products provides enjoyment. If you can't admire the assortment of colors displayed...check your pulse. The street consists of an eclectic collection of shops, some more fancier than others. Certain stores sell more flowers than plants and vice versa. Prices can vary so some browsing is necessary. I didn't do intense market research but it seems like, overall, that the prices at the Flower Market are lower than other locations in HK. Haggling is less effective here than at the Ladies' Market, but you might get some of the damage shaved off, especially if the vendor wants to get rid of the chosen product. If you need to buy something but you're not looking for something specific, take a lap around the market and then decide what interests you.

Half the price of flowers you will find on Hong Kong island and Wan Chai area. A much larger variety as well. Countless vendors selling house plants, rose bouquets, accessories, tools and loose floral bundles. A more unique environment that is specifically designated to flowers. We come here from time to time for flowers and are never disappointed with varietals available. Always nice to stop into the bird park as long as we are here.

Potted plants, mixed flower bouquets, crafted arrangements, and even terrariums spill outside the dozens of flower shops spanning Flower Market Road and Sai Yee Street, which make quite a beautiful attraction and provide a breath of fresh floral aromas for both locals and tourists alike. Since I'm the latter, traveling from abroad and staying in HK for only a few days, there was no purpose in me purchasing fresh flowers from the Flower Market, but it was still worth a visit to this neat gem.

Up in Prince Edward is a flower market right down the road from the bird garden. It was a lovely rainy day when I visited, which made being there all the more enjoyable. There's so much for sale, packed into an area no bigger than two square blocks and a few side streets. Live plants, cut flowers, and dried flowers are available as well as vases, rocks, and decorative pieces. There are some really high-end shops selling fully curated live arrangements for thousands of HKD. Then there are the run-of-the-mill places with simple cut bouquets. You can also find mix-and-match stores, but it tends to be more costly to create your own arrangement. If you want live plants for indoor or outdoor use, there are hundreds of types here too, anything from moss and ground cover to large trees. The selection impressively covers local flora, tropical varieties, and Western plants and flowers too.

Not as grand as I taught it would be. I really expected a alley of flower with a smell to go with it. The prices are good, but. Really it's a street where bouquet are sold. It's ok, don't get me wrong. But, it's not a symphony of coloured flowers that I was led to believe it would be. Maybe it was back in the days.

Great place to walk around and smell all the flowers, take your dates there, it's a fun area to walk and maybe buy her a pretty bouquet! after you are tired, you can always walk back to Mong kok area for some food and shopping

Having the pleasure of traveling the world for 45 years, I have in the last decade developed a slightly self-indulgent habit: now whenever I'm staying for 3 nights or more, I'd make it a point to buy some flowers to dress up the room. It makes me happy to wake up to a fresh bouquet or come back to a welcoming orchid after a long day of sightseeing. It makes me treasure those days and reflect on how lucky I am. All can be done on a budget, of course. I typically find the least expensive glass vase and some favorite Casablancas. It's doable for around USD10 even in high earning NYC and HK. One just has to go to where the locals shop. Here in HK, that would be the Flower Market in Prince Edwards, adjacent to bustling Mong Kok. I was hoping to find both orchids and lillies. I am very happy to report that it was an easy feat. This market encompasses approximately 2 city blocks; not huge but the variety of vendors do cover a myriad of needs. Space utilization is a specialty and necessity in dense Asian metropolises. I saw everything that one may need for an indoor oasis: fungi, cacti, succulents, from white Casablancas to pink stargazers and every color in between, hydrangeas, roses, orchids etc. etc. Vendors sell single stems, bunches in different numbers and in bouquets (ready-made or custom); even single blossoms. I was impressed by many of the ready-made ones. Especially the smaller bouquets, no doubt catering the budget minded romantics in this space precious, dense metropolis. There are high-end boutiques as well as basic distributors. There are stores that specialize in gardening supplies, vases and vessels. Most needs & budgets are covered. My visit coincided with the month of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a few stores carried the festive lanterns. Childhood nostalgia! I only wished I could have taken some of the more elaborate ones back to the States. Check out Brighten's (Flori-Art Plaza) location at Pr. Edward Rd. W & Sai Yee. I have no doubt that the market is extremely festive to celebrate each of the traditional Chinese (lunar) and western holidays. It would be a joy to see the full regalia of cherry blossoms and kumquats during CNY; and, poinsettia & evergreens during Christmas. I visited the market 3 times on my 10-day trip. Twice to replenish (more as an indulgence than a necessity) and once for gifts. My suggestion is for any plant and flower lovers to pay the market a visit. Give yourself 2 hours to walk the entire market; talk to the vendors, ask questions, take notes on stock and prices; then decide on which ones to revisit (and barter with). Yes, you can barter with some, especially if you're buying multiple items. Prices do vary and some are not posted (listed). They will price according to your dress and demeanor. So do your homework, it's part of the challenge and fun. But remember, these vendors' prices are already better than those found elsewhere in the city; so do tread carefully. Happy hunting. Tips: - Short 5-min walk from Prince Edward MTR Station. - Adjacent to Yuen Po Street Bird Garden (園圃街雀鳥花園), which serves both as a place of gathering for bird lovers & a market for feeds, supplies, bird cages and a variety of birds. It offers a glimpse to a diminishing hobby for Hongkongers. Nostalgia for those of us who grew up visiting dim sum restaurants for breakfast and seeing and hearing these delightful creatures sing to their owners and friends. Word of caution to odor sensitive souls. An issue at large for many Hong Kong sights. But, it's all part of the charm for cross-cultural experiences, right? - Vendors do pack your purchases w/ your commute in mind w/o prompting & the packaging were adequate for my MTR rides. But don't be shy to ask if you feel you need to double bag. - I don't consider myself very price savvy. However, I have no doubt these vendors are experts and it's also part of our culture. As a traveler, I see no need to barter to the penny. Bartering is a game, an art of give and take; please enjoy it as such. But do your homework. Also, do count the items that your purchase, because mistakes do happen. Case in point, I bought a package of anthuriums. I saw 4 blossoms but when paying, the salesperson counted out 5 stems. As I was in a hurry for dinner, I did not think to recount them. Sure enough there was a headless stem. Live & learn. - There're places to grab drinks & snacks within this 2 block enclave. Espresso drinks & specialty teas in the high end Hay Fever, HK-style herbal drinks, HK-style bakeries (e.g. Saint Honore) and HK-style cafes dot the area for your culinary exploits. Egg tarts, anyone?! All but Hay Fever are on PERW. - Suggestion: visit on the first full day of your visit to maximize your enjoyment of your finds. Hours: 9:30am - 7:30pm - An unrelated side note for visiting overseas Hongkongers: there're 2 school uniform stores along Pr. Edward Rd. W. at the market. If you're looking for school emblems, these're the places. You're welcome.

I like how all these sellers and stores are all centrally located together like a hub. Makes it easy for buyers to know where to go when we need something, but also hard to decide on where to buy since they all sell the same varieties of goods. Compare and contrast! I felt sad looking at all these birds, it's like they want to escape from their cages or chains.

The Flower Market in Mongkok is something quite special in Hong Kong, its not a dedicated area as such but its an area that spans several blocks in the middle of town that dedicates itself to the sale of flowers. Its not only the sale of flowers which attracts people, here you will find everything you will need to tend to your own plant or garden. There are shops that sell specific garden furniture which are rare in Hong Kong given not a lot of people have gardens, there are ones that specializes in pots and gardening tools. We shouldn't detract from the main product here though, it really is a scene to behold on certain days where you will see every single shop with roses (e.g. valentines) lined from top to bottom and you will have endless choices in terms of size, colour, the packaging and even what you want to go with your flowers. For those of you who are on a last minute spree to get flowers- you can't get a better place than this and admittedly I have on some important days come here as a last resort. The prices will be cheaper here than ordering online and your choices will be much wider; you will be well advised to try to haggle and look around a few more shops for better prices. I've tried and had varying results in the past so I guess most people would do better than me.

Great to walk around and see all the florists... smells wonderful and colors are fab... also closed to the bird market (a bit sad/depressing for us as animal lovers)....
