I bet at this moment if you are seriously indulging in floral arrangement, you'd be asking where to get fresh yet low-priced flowers. It sounds a bit tricky comparing the usual cases whereby some part of quality will be compromised if it cost less. Aha, there is another reason to get stuff cheaper if we buy in bulks, so get the fresh and cheap flowers from wholesalers.

To those folks that live in Penang, below are some of the places that I know of (most have been to) and hope it does give you some pointers in searching for fresh, lovely and reasonable priced flowers.

Heng Long Trading Co. (Penang Branch) - slightly opposite Penang Times Square

Comment: Clean, systematic, have netted oasis with container

You can also get artificial flowers from florabelle. We are trying to encourage others to make beautiful arrangements with their purchases.
