Say it with the flowers - Mong Kok, Flower Market

Say it with the flowers…  



Flower Market, Mong Kok, Hong Kong

Once, a friend told me that the best time to go to Flower Market is before the Chinese New Year.  There will be variety of flowers in gorgeous colors to welcome the new year…  

Look at the interesting fish pots

Coincidentally, another friend invited us to go to go there to look around…

Enough words, I will let the flowers speak for themselves...
 

Tangerines? Oranges? Chinese New Year symbols

Herbs

Bunga Sedap Malam (Bahasa Indonesia), it is known as fragrant night flower in English, or Polianthes tuberosa in Latin.

Bunga Sedap Malam

I was surprised to see the pinky Bunga Sedap Malam in Mong Kok. I had only seen white flowers in Indonesia...

If I translate it word by word from Bahasa Indonesia:
 

Bunga: flower

Sedap: tasty/delicious

Malam: evening

Other than flowers, there's Pacific Coffee nearby the Flower Market and some snack stores too... I couldn't resist taking pic of these yummy cakes!
