The Red Among the Lavender
Lavender was the star of the show in Sequim last week, but I found plenty of red, too, in the poppies and crocosmia.
But the fields were mostly purple at Purple Haze Lavender Farm,
and Jardin du Soleil.
Did you know that Sequim, Washington is the Lavender Capital of North America and that you can visit dozens of lavender farms there? Well now you do!
Sharing the reds with Becky’s Square Challenge, #SimplyRed.

Beautiful photos! ❤️🥰
Thanks, John! 🙂
You’re welcome! ☺️
So cool, and awesome photos!
Thanks, so much! 🙂
Breathtaking, literally, with the scent of lavender in the air!
Thank you! The lavender has a heavenly fragrance indeed!
💜❤️💜 Totally awesome to see the lavender with poppies — the red shows off the lavender — they look great together!
I loved seeing the red among the lavender, too! 😊
A nice sunny visit by the look of it. I really like crocosmia and had several in my old Washington garden.
Yes, we were in the mid 90’s last week! I love crocosmias, too.
Stunning views of the lavender, Susanne! Gorgeous angles and perspectives! There is a lavender farm 15 miles away from us. I bought a plant there 3 years ago and it has really grown!
Thanks so much, Terri! I never get tired of visiting the lavender farms in Sequim! I love growing lavender too and picked up another plant while I was there. 🙂
It reminds me of “When I am old, I will wear purple with a red hat”.
Maybe it’s time for me! 😉 🙂
so beautiful flowers
Thank you
Amazing photos.
Thank you 😊
Magnificent! I like to visit Purple Haze Lavender Farm. Wishful thinking🤩 Thanks for sharing, Sussane
Thank you. So glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Beautiful, brilliant and vivid colors

Hi Susanne
That is exactly how it looks in our garden. We live in lavender country here, which is also called Poppy Land.
We wish you a happy week

How wonderful! I have several lavender plants in my garden, but no poppies.
stunning fields – I am always in awe of lavender fields, and love the pops of red
Thanks, Becky. I love visiting the lavender farms in Sequim, and appreciated the pops of red among the purple!
I feel as if I could almost smell that lavender from here! And I love the pop of red against the softer mauve tones, especially in the poppy shots 🙂
Thanks, Sarah. I never get tired of visiting the lavender fields, and also enjoyed finding the pops of red. 🙂
Lavender and Poppies are two of my favourites. Lovely photos, Susanne.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks so much, Pete! I was happy to see the Poppies among the Lavender!
My first marriage on July 21 featured just such poppies. A nice memory of a man gone too soon.
Oh! A sweet memory.
Gorgeous!!
Thank you!
