The next stop was the flower market. Here hundreds of thousands of the flowers are brought for processing and selling. The orange and yellow ones look like carnations. Many were being turned into arrangements that are seen at the Buddhist temples.
The flower markets are open 24 hours a day and are busiest in the very early hours of the morning (about 3 or 4 o’clock) when the professionals swoop in to get the best of the pick. But they can be enjoyed anytime.
The red roses in the photo were really inexpensive, like $2 per bunch.
I’ll take a dozen or two of those roses since they are so inexpensive!! lol
