Hello! I am back and I want to share another day of our Baguio-Benguet travel
We woke up early today to explore another interesting place. The oldies argued about where to go first or the next place to go. Finally, they decided to visit these beautiful blossoms of flowers in the northern part. Every day is an exciting experience. I always wonder where we could go and I'm sure I would be very happy to have the opportunity to travel with the family. I didn't notice how many hours we traveled because I just slept in the car. I was too sleepy. Maybe we traveled 2-3 hours from Baguio city.
This is the Northern Blossom Flower Farm in Atok, Benguet.
Open hours are from 6:30 AM to 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM. So they're closed on a lunch break. I suggest bringing a jacket because the temperature could get cold.
A stunning close-up look at this attractive bright yellow sunflower with dark brown seed-filled in the middle. Just like the sun it cheerfully and beautifully blooms bright.
I am not sure what's the name of this flower but I like the white delicate tiny beautiful flowers with a pinkish color. So pretty!
Another attractive close up with this Purple flower with white center.
Cactuses! Oh, they are called succulents. I so love these beautiful prickly plants. They are ideal for people who are minimalist and don't want to have tall bushy plants. They're pretty cute and look friendly though prickly. they are versatile for decorating spaces. Look at the price, 3 for 100 pesos is too cheap. But we didn't buy any. It would be an addition to our items of luggage since we live in Mindanao and return home by plane.
This flower seems to belong to the daisy family. Its white with yellow in the center gives me a touch of simplicity yet classic decency. It looks pure and innocent yet very lovely.
Okay. This is the only downside there. I have a baby dog. I love dogs and I just can't help feeling sad about dogs for service. He is tied the whole day to greet and welcome travelers. He can't complain any discomfort nor speak about what he wants to do. He has a life of his own. He looks so cute. I want to hug him. My daughter is also a dog lover. It's a pity if the dog actually stays there the whole day. I hope he lives in a big area where he can freely run and play.
What a gorgeous and relaxing view!
I am in awe of the owner and applaud the people behind the planting who had this idea and dedicated their effort to plant flowers for people to experience and see the beauty, as well as a place for relaxation and peace. It was indeed a marvelous place. By the way, their ticket has free coffee and bread you could enjoy near the exit.
Going to another side , I captured some stunning, jaw-dropping views. How wonderful to see these breathtaking mountainous landscapes.
The Bessang Pass Natural Monument is a protected area and memorial that commemorates the victory on June 14, 1945, by Filipino soldiers serving the U.S. Army Forces in the Philippines Northern Luzon (USAFIP-NL) over the Imperial Japanese Army in the Battle of Bessang Pass which led to Japan's eventual surrender and end to World War II in the Philippines. It covers an area of 693.32 hectares (1,713.2 acres) and a buffer zone of 427.79 hectares (1,057.1 acres) in the municipality of Cervantes in Ilocos Sur.[1] The mountain pass was initially a component of the Tirad Pass National Park, declared in 1938 through Proclamation No. 294 by then President Manuel Luis Quezon. On August 10, 1954, it was established as the Bessang Pass National Shrine with an area of 304 hectares (750 acres) by virtue of Proclamation No. 55 signed by President Ramon Magsaysay.[2] The national shrine was finally declared and reclassified as a natural monument under the National Integrated Protected Areas System in April 2000 through Proclamation No. 284 by President Joseph Estrada. {source}https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessang_Pass_Natural_Monument
