(LOOK: This garden in the Philippines has 10,000 tulips!)
The flower farm is constructed of greenhouses and open fields, which are equally charming if you can find the right angles. Walk around and you’ll even find some spots overlooking Mt. Pulag and Mt. Timbak in the distance. The flowers themselves deserve some gawking, as several of them are of a rare variety. From snapdragons and larkspurs to cabbage roses, flower lovers are sure to get their fill here.

The surrounding area of Atok only makes the trip more attractive. With the recent influx of tourists to the town, more locals have been training as tour guides to take visitors around the area. Seeing Mt. Timbak, Sakura Park, Lourdes Grotto, and the Halsema Highway Highest Point have become a much simpler feat.
