Nugget & The Flower Fields

A post for the plant lovers, the landscape lovers, those who just love to appreciate the beauty of nature and most importantly, for the tea lovers. Here are some of the most unbelievably flower fields around the world.

LAVENDER FIELDS, UK

The British countryside is home to some of the most beautiful lavender fields, just look at those shades of lavender in the pictures below. These fields are maybe the most photogenic ones I've even seen and I'm ever in the UK, I'm definitely visiting and there's lots to choose from. The Lavender farm are usually in full bloom from June to August and my favourite thing bout them is, tourists like myself, are free to walk through and tour the facilities. There's even a nice gift shop that I need to go to because who doesn't love the scent of lavender?

TULIP FIELDS, NETHERLANDS

Mostly a consensus opinion of the masses, the tulips fields of the Netherlands are the most magnificent flower fields in the world. Part of Holland is actually dedicated to these fields which transforms into a vast sea of flowers from March to May. It's so beautiful, aerial views looks like a huge patchwork quilt that was stitched perfectly. I wish I can walk in between those fields, I don't believe that mere pictures can do justice to the sea of flowers and the explosion of colour. Netherlands is even home to Keukenhof Flower Park, the world's largest flower garden where over 7 million flowers are planted annually.

CANOLA FLOWER FIELDS, CHINA

The county of Louping of Yunnan, China is typically quiet until the blooming of the Canola flowers, transforming the area into a vibrant and spectacular sea of yellow beauty. When the Spring season begins, there's even an annual festival is held in honour of the flowers. The fields spread for approximately 133 million square meters and looks like something you just want to dive straight into. Louping is China's primary producer of Canolas and its harvest is used in  the production of cooking oil and honey products.

MU CANG CHAI RICE TERRACES, VIETNAM

The design of these rice fields are so amazing, it's like a huge maze that you just want to run through and play. These fields are found in Mu Cang Chai, a rural area of Yen Bai Province in Northeast Vietnam. The Rice Terraces are recognized as unique national landscapes which spans across 2,200 hectares on the mountainside. Narrow layers of terraces ranging from 1 to 1.5 meters were shaped to retain water along the slope of the mountains to grow rice. This majestic feature attracts tourists to the underdeveloped province every rainy season from September to October.

LONGJING TEA PLANTATION CHINA

So I am a tea lover and you're either an obsessed tea drinker or not a tea drinker at all. I love it so much, I'd even drink tea when it's all sunny and it's almost always sunny in the Caribbean. Anyway, my point was supposed to be that these fields appeal to me the most because - tea.

Tea drinking is one of China's more cherished and preserved cultural symbols which makes me feel like I belong there, specifically in Hangzhou Longjing Village, where the world's most beautiful and famous tea fields live. Longjing Tea or Dragon Well Tea is a type of green tea which is over 1200 years old and believed to possess healing powers. Interesting fact - the name "Dragon Well" is based on an ancient legend where the village was considered to be blessed by the Chinese Dragon as a clean spring ran continuously through the village.
