2005 when I started to explore flower market for my flower small business. I would say that Dimasalang so far is the practical choice to look and find good flowers supply. Reasons that it is more accessible for me and prices of wholesale products is cheaper than other flower market in the Philippines.
Dangwa Market, as popularly called by many to refer to the fresh flower
market in Sampaloc, Manila where supplies come from various flower
havens of the Philippines such as La Trinidad, Tagaytay City, Davao
City, Laguna, etc., as well as imported from major sources of flowers
outside the country such as Thailand, Australia and Holland.
Situated at
crossroads where three prominent city streets meet - Lacson Avenue,
Dimasalang Street and Laon Laan Street. Because of this, commuting to
the flower center of Metro Manila is relatively easy.
Reposting from http://directionsonweb.blogspot.com I found this several route for those who wanted to explore Dangwa by land travel.
