STARGAZER
Most flower bouquets during the Valentines and Mother's day season contain this flower - Stargazer (Lilium Orientalis). They say that pink stargazer's symbolic meaning is wealth and prosperity while white varieties means purity and sympathy.
The first stargazer plant for sale that I found is on Tagaytay City near Rotanda. I asked for the price and I was shocked with its 250 pesos tag price. That was around 2013. The flower is not propagated in Tagaytay. If I remember correctly, it is from the north. Either Baguio or Benguet. With its 250 price, I understand why a bouquet with stargazer and assorted flowers can reach up to a thousand pesos.
The stargazer photo above is from Eton Centris Maket taken on August 2015. Each plant costs 200 pesos. You'll find the Centris Market Stalls open every Sunday from around 6am-2pm.
