Looks a great event! I never knew the area around Tuscania was famous for its lavender.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful event. I like lavender fields very much. Thanks for sharing such a nice post with nice pictures here with us.

I remember the star jasmine all over Tuscania when I was there in early June 2010. Also the fileds of fladers Poppies. Never knew about the lavender, though, so must have been there too early.
