My trip to Hokkaido was an enriching experience and i guess i have had enough of lavender fields at both Farm Tomita and Shikisai-no-Oka (四季彩之丘) to know how a stalk of lavender flowers looks like.
Therefore, i was excited to see an archway leading to a lavender garden at UK Farm in Kluang! How did they even manage to get lavender to bloom in such bloody hot weather?!
Stepping closer and closer; i can unconsciously feel my jaw dropping wider and wider. This is no lavender garden; at least not the same kind of commercial lavenders that i am aware of! And it looked so sparse; i thought the goats had taken a palatable liking to them.
Close-up of the flowers; flower expert can comment if it's indeed lavender flower, given that there are 47 known species of lavender in the world.
There's a shimmer of hope in the midst of disappointment. p.s. not the flowers though as they were, simply put, incomparable with those i see in Hokkaido.
The brightly painted bird houses that dotted the ground were that 'hope' - given their attractiveness in the open space, i didn't see any bird taking shelter in the shade. Guess 'business' may be better at night.
