Dainty Daisies

A rich and attractive variety of daisies can be found in Tassie. It’s a tough row to hoe when I’m trying to name the different kind of daisies pictured here. Maybe some don’t even belong to the daisy family at all? Pls name them or correct me if I’m wrong!

Cape daisy. Very pretty purplish flower isn’t it? We saw these charming cape daisies in Stanley, North West of Tasmania.

Pink cape daisy. Even if you hate pink, love it.

Any specific name for this sunny looking flower? I googled and came across these unfamiliar terms like marguerite, ox-eyed daisies, moon daisy, leucanthemum vulgare and chrysanthemum leucanthemum. To make life easier, a layman like me would just refer it as a white daisy!!!

We stumbled upon lots of white daisies while touring around Tassie.

More white daisies at full blast. He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not… It certainly takes a very long time plucking the petals off the daisies!

I thought this treasure flower would look prettier if that insect is a bee instead of a housefly.

More wildflowers … blue daisies?

Field marigold.

or simply… yellow flowers!

How about a walk through lavender fields?

Lavender-liciously Done

Let’s embark on a “visual therapy” and calm the senses with lavender! One of the things to do in Tasmania is to check out the lovely spikes of lavender flowers blooming everywhere in gardens and fields.

You eat lavender, drink lavender, smell lavender, apply lavender… but do you know there are many species of lavender too? I just knew that.

The Australian island state has the largest lavender farm in the Southern hemisphere: Bridestowe Lavender Estate. It’s literally the little Provence of Tasmania as the climate is similar to that of France and the lavender estate cultivate true French lavender.

Tassie Day 7: World’s cleanest air!

Breathe in some of the World’s cleanest air at Cape Grim! To harness the power of the Roaring Forties, the 62 giant white turbines at Woolnorth Wind Farm are built to transform the moving energy of wind into electricity for the island.

View of the gorgeously rugged west coast with crashing waves at Cape Grim. A massacre occurred in 1828 on this cape when some Tasmanian Aborigines were ambushed and shot, and their bodies were thrown over the cliff into the sea.
