Written by Bessie about 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.

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!

What do they do with all the flowers? Boil them to make perfumes, soap, etc.,  They draw huge crowds to see the blooming action.  I'd definitely recommend it!
