Sirao Flower Farm - does this ring a bell? If it does, then you must be in Cebu or know someone who is in Cebu or saw pictures in social media. The farm is dubbed as the mini-Amsterdam of Cebu because of the pretty flowers. It got so famous in Cebu City that everyone wants to go there and see it first hand.

According to the owner of the place, the flower farm was originally to be planted with fruits, vegetables, and crops. When they decided to plant flowers instead, the owner envisioned a beautiful garden and it provided bountiful harvests every year. This year however, the farm was already gaining popularity because of some people who were able to go there and shared pictures of the place that's why the flowers were not harvested for more people to appreciate their beauty.

The moment I saw a friend's picture on facebook, I immediately decided that I wanted to go there. So one Friday, around 4:30pm, I went there with a friend. 

Tip: It is always an advantage if you can bring a car with you but since not everyone has access to one, there are motorbikes in JY Square that can bring you there with PHP200.00 back and forth (a bit overpriced if you ask me).

Even before we reached the area, we had to disembark from our vehicle and walk around 100 meters because of heavy traffic - something I did not expect.

Finally we had a glimpse of the famous farm but what I saw was not something that I expected. After paying the PhP20.00 entrance fee, we went ahead to join the flock of people already there.

Everyone was so busy trying to get the perfect angle for the perfect selfie. Because of the big crowd of people, it was very challenging to get a picture without photobombers.
