(SPOT.ph) A wise philosopher once equated buying oneself flowers to loving themselves better than any man can. For the uninitiated, we're obviously referencing Miley Cyrus' hit song, Flowers. And while we're talking about self-care and self-love, there's no better way to spend a day off than walking along nature's paths and being surrounded by colorful blooms, which you can do at Celossian Flower Farm in Rizal Province. For just P50, you can have front-row seats to the many colorful shrubs and landscapes without having to travel far from Metro Manila.

Check out this quaint flower farm in Baras, Rizal:
Located just about an hour to an hour and a half from Metro Manila, Celossian Flower Farm is located in the municipality of Baras, Rizal. With almost zero high-rise structures in the area and mountains surrounding the patch of land, the not-so-touristy flower farm thrives as an oasis for plant-loving folk to escape their daily grind. Here they can stroll along the flower beds, appreciate the sprouting vegetables, and take countless pictures of all the bright, colorful vegetation.
Guests can walk amongst the plants and experience the fresh countryside air from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. There are also tons of photo spots where you can take quick snapshots. But aside from spamming your social media with lots of bright spring or summer vibes, you can also enjoy a picnic at Celossian Flower Farm. Just make sure to bring your own picnic baskets and snacks, as there are no restaurants or food stalls in the area.
Although the rule is generally not to pick flowers from gardens that don't belong to you, you can pick certain flowers yourself for a minimal fee. Depending on the season, you might be able to pick not just flowers like mums or giant sunflowers but also vegetables and fruits like rambutan, upo, squash, and eggplant. You can even take home seeds and seedlings, as they have a plant nursery on site.
What are you waiting for? Indulge your inner plantito/plantita and head on to Celossian Flower Farm for a quick day trip.
Celossian Flower Farm is along Sitio Tamalan Pinugay Road, Celossian Flower Farm, Baras, Rizal. It is open daily from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit Celossian Flower Farm's Facebook page.
