 What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet ~ Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
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 No 216, Jalan Dato' Kramat, 10150 George Town, Penang Tel: +60-4-229 4946, 228 0621 Check out the location in Google Map here! Zoom-in for detail. Comment: Clean, systematic, have netted oasis with container
