    Where do you get your flowers for CNY

    Assuming you get into the whole CNY thing, where do you go for plants/flowers and what types do you get?

    I usually get mine from the flower market at MK where it's always an adventure this time of year. Yesterday was rained out and wasn't even that crowded but even so I was shoved on more than one occasion by elderly women, witnessed a man being rude and abusive to FEHD staff, was scolded and waved away by a man who caught me taking his picture and almost accidentally bought a 4000 dollar plant.

    In the end it took me 40 minutes circling around to decide between a 138 dollar daffodils and the 158 dollar daffodils. I took the latter but I still need to get yellow plum blossoms, those lemon looking ones and those red berry looking ones.

    I've done the Victoria Park one and the Mongkok one (much prefer the latter).

    The Flower Market at Prince Edward, which is always there, not one of the CNY temporary markets.

    People call it Mongkok but it is in Prince Edward (PE)
