This lovely flower shop is located in Queen's Road East, where there are many other similar stores. I was looking for a small cactus plants for my studio, to add a little bit of green to the whitish decoration. I'm not a good plants carer. It's not that I don't care for them, but they tend to last very short when I'm in charge of them...so a cactus was a good idea.
The shop is relatively big - and they have a ton of different plants and flowers in there. As I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to flora, I asked one of the girls at the shop for help. She showed me every cactus they had. Some of them came with a really really cute pot, but they were bigger than I wanted (and more expensive!). Instead I looked around the shop for inspiration. I loved how they've got the shop arranged, with a big space in the middle where smaller plants and pots are displayed. Some of the ones that need a cold atmosphere are kept in a kind of fridge. Besides flowers of many kinds (I can't recall most of them), they also sell orchids in different sizes, the cheapest coming at 380HKD. While I was there I noticed they had a corner full of baskets, possibly for Mid-Autumn festival, and they looked great. Most of them were carrying a ton of fruit and a box with moon cakes. Cheapest one was around 600HKD, and that included an assortment of fruits but no moon cakes so if you want a proper one, you'll be paying around 150HKD more. Prices are around the average of shops I've seen in Wan Chai, but their presentation is much better as they use the Mid-Autumn festival theme in most of their baskets. If I finally decide to buy a basket (today) this will be the place. read more
