But where to find full bloom sunflower in the metro (or nearby)? No worries! Here, I list 8 sunflower fields to see in Metro Manila and nearby provinces (list updated in 2022):

Sunflower Fields in Metro Manila
You are residing or traveling for work in Metro Manila and you wanted to relieve your hectic week with a refreshing view amidst the bustling cities? Here are some of the places you can drop by to destress yourself with sunflowers:
Ayala Triangle Gardens (Makati)
Yes! This busy city has a little treat this summer. A little space in Ayala Triangle Gardens houses a few sunflower in the city.
Although it's not that huge like what Pangasinan and Quezon have, you can still do a close up selfies with these sunflowers.
Rainforest Park (Pasig)
Pasig is known as "The Green City" in the metro. No wonder that it has a Rainforest Park where you can see a sunflower field.
The park is somewhat comparable to Quezon City’s La Mesa Eco Park, Pangasinan’s Sunflower Maze and Baguio’s Wright Park to name some. Making it a combination of several theme parks in one.

UP Diliman (Quezon City)
The rows of sunflowers blooming along University Avenue near the oval have become part of an annual graduation tradition ever since the 80s.

These flowers bloom around the same time the students graduate—formerly, around April, but UP shifted their academic calendar and the experts in the University of the Philippines Diliman Campus Maintenance Office (UPD CMO) found a way for these flowers to bloom during the rainy season (around June), which is also when the students graduate. These sunflowers have become a symbol of hope for the graduating students, something they look forward to through all those sleepless and restless nights and days while working on every academic requirement.
Sunflower Fields and Farms in CALABARZON
Here are some of the known sunflower farms you can visit around Region-4A:
Celossian Flower Farm (Baras, Rizal)
The Celossian Flower Farm is located in the town of Baras, Rizal, about 47 KM from Metro Manila. As the farm’s name suggests, this particular flower farm is home to celosia, a type of flower that features large flame-shaped petals and bright red and yellow colors.
Aside from its attractive appearance, the celosia is special as it blooms only once per year. This flower typically grows in humid areas, so the country’s climate is an ideal place for it to thrive. Other known names of celosia include cockscomb and woolflower.
SunFlora Farm (Jalajala, Rizal)
Established in 2018 in Jalajala, Rizal, SunFlora Farm offers delightful and vibrant sunflower landscapes perfect for selfies and groufies with friends and family.
Angel's Sunflower Field (Candelaria, Quezon)
Found in Barangay Masin Sur, Candelaria, Quezon, Girasoles Farm (formerly known as Angel's Sunflower Field) boasts its vast field of sunflower.
Sunshine Farm (Tiaong, Quezon)
Situated in Barangay Lai, Tiaong Quezon, Sunshine Farm is one of the most distinct flower-themed attractions in the country. It’s home to thousands of sunflowers, so it’s no wonder that this farm has become a favorite setting for special occasions like birthdays and weddings.
