Flower Market

Market for tropical plants in Yangon City.

There are countless street markets in the city along Anawrahta Road the most interesting is the tropical flower market in front of the old Methodist Church. The not only have tropical plants there are also plenty of "temperate climate" flowers from Shan State. Since the whole area in the northeast around Inle Lake is above thousand meters all plants known in Europe also grow here. 

Myanmar is blessed with different climate zones, from the glaciers of the 6000 meter high mountains in the north to the temperate level in Shan State at about 1000 meter height  to the tropical flatland elsewhere. A ideal environment to grow many different flowers among them or marvelous orchid flowers.
