Heaven is flower fields in Furano, Japan
Written by Bessie on Thursday, July 30, 2009 in Japan
Feelin' happy
One of the things I was most excited for on our trip to Hokkaido, Japan was the fields of flowers. Furano is known for its lavender fields, and loads of them. While the lavender was just out of full bloom, the array of flowers that filled Farm Tomito left me ecstatic. Feelin' happy
delicious lavender ice cream also enhanced the euphoria.
I'm not nearly the flower experts that my Dad and stepmom are, but I've attempted to label some of the flowers. I'm hoping people can fill in the gaps!
At the Autumn Field; sage, purple ones?, red cosmos?
dragon fly on pretty purple flowers; orange and yellow marigolds
Red and pink poppies near the Forest House; yellow California Poppies in the Hanibito Field
lavender fields

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!! Your flower identification seemed right on the money.....so I guess you WERE listening all those years and trips to Alsip Nursery. :) :) What a wonderful activity for your Japanese adventure. The work that goes into maintaining that flower farm is mind boggling.....machines cannot do much of that! It is mostly hand work.
You and Dad would have loved this place. And yes, I can't imagine how much work it is to maintain. I was working up a sweat holding my ice cream cone.
I think I have a picture of me standing next to the Farm Tomita sign from 3 years ago, almost to the date of your trip. So glad you enjoyed your trip to Hokkaido :).
we should photo shop those together somehow! ;) was a great trip recommendation!
I have never seen such beautiful pictures of flower fields in my life. The views are absolutely amazing! What a fabulous travel experience you are having. Enjoy it to the fullest!
Drop-dead gorgeous ribbons of color!
Awesome natural stripes and euphoria of radiant colors. You have found another piece of heaven on earth. These photos are an inspiration to all who would dare to dream and travel!!! STRIVE ON!
