Lamma Blooms

I sincerely wish we could take more care of our planet, there is so much beauty in it and climate change (caused by us) is threatening it all. Spending time in nature is one of the most awesome ways of reconnecting and understanding that we are living on this earth with other living things. We are not here to dominate everything.

 

Singapore Daisy (Sphagneticola Tribolata)

Lamma Island, situated to the south west of Hong Kong island, is the third largest island of Hong Kong, at only 7km long. A trip to Lamma island introduces one to the quirky world of mostly expats and great restaurants with good vegan and vegeterian options. Just a 30 minute ferry ride from Central, you can choose to spend a day in Lamma or stay overnight, there are a few good hostels / Airbnbs. 


Black-eyed Susan (Thunbergia Alata) 

A must do on Lamma island is to explore the miriad of hiking trails. On a trip like this, you can expect to find the most amazing flowers littering the pathways, be sure to stop and explore!

Ulam Raja (Cosmos Caudatus)


Baccharis

 

Holmskiolda Sanguinea

In addition to all the exquisite flowers, if you look closely you will see the weirdest little shrubs and odd plants

             
             
             


   


And if you are lucky you might even spot a cute little bee bum ... 



... or a beautiful butterfly.
