Flowers is for the lover and and to express our love for our dearly departed.

Baguio City is the city of flowers.  Flowers from Dangwa in Manila come from Baguio City.
These pictures show that Baguio is really the city of flowers

Before the end of February, tourists will flock to Baguio City for the Panagbengga Festival (for flowers) similar to the Rose Bowl parade in Pasadena California
