Washington Island now boasts two lavender farms! The first one, Lavender Island Company, was established four years ago and the second, Fragrant Isle Lavender Farm, was started three years ago. Since they are so spectacular at eye level, I would love to see an aerial view of them both. To see a video on lavender products and how the plants are grown and harvested, go here.
That looks like the Pacific Northwest. So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, I like the purple colour.
ReplyDeleteThat is just stunning! Wish I could smell the fragrance.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to return to Provence when the lavendar is in bloom. Beautiful color and fragrance.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful sight! The Desert Botanical Garden has lavender growing but I've never seen fields of it like this.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I like the fact that they planted roses to set off the lavender color.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed the plants don't freeze in the winter. I think I need to learn more about Washington Island. What a great trip! We are having our lavender festival this weekend. I've been harvesting my grosso and province. Next week I'll work on the smaller varieties.
ReplyDeleteThe fields look so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat could be in Sequim though some of our growers have been around for decades.
ReplyDelete(BTW, re: your question on quail and whether males are caretakers: Two of the three adults in my shot were males. I consulted my Sibley Guide to bird life and both parents are caretakers.)
Thanks for the answer. Yes, I thought of you when I first laid eyes on these lavender fields. Their second annual festival will be held the week-end after we leave. Too bad!!
DeleteLovely to see, Kate!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful !
ReplyDeleteI can smell the fragrance.
The lavander farms looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could smell the delicious fragrance too!
