Mabuhay and hello to my fellow Steemians!

February marks the month-long festivities of the Baguio Flower Festival of Panagbenga (which means "blooming" or "flourishing" ) and it will once again besieged by locals like me and foreign tourists from around the world. Thanks to these visitors, all hotels, bed and breakfast, and transient homes are fully booked even months in advance. Business is thriving and flourishing just like a flower! :)

Flower varieties rarely grown in any part of my country but not here in the province of Benguet, which is situated in the northernmost part. Flowers grown here are sold to high-end markets and clients. With flowers abound, this province has great ecotourism potential.

Undoubtedly, God bestowed us the gift of nature which is really beautiful and priceless that is why we should be grateful because we are savoring and enjoying His gift to us.
