Celossian Flower Farm Baras, Rizal
The farm was named after a flame-like flower bud of a garden plant, celosia. Its bright yellow and fiery red colored petals became a hit online when the farm opened its gates to the public in September 2019. And so as the clamor for the picturesque celosia garden like the famous flower farms in the Netherlands. Open to all ages every day, from 6 am to 6 pm, with a budget-friendly fee of 30 pesos for adults, 25 pesos for seniors, and 20 pesos for kids. Such price is a minimal cost for some r & r plus Metaverse-worthy photos.
