Meifeng Farm [梅峰農場] is located within NTU’s Highland Experimental Farm on the Central Cross-Island Highway just past Cingjing Farm if approaching from the west.  Cathy and I visited during my hiatus from blogging and I haven’t gotten around to posting pictures from our trip until now.  We visited during the last day they were open to the public during their Peach Blossom Festival [桃花 (Prunus persica)].

Although most of the Peach Blossoms we saw were pink, a few trees were a vivid shade of red:

Peach Blossoms weren’t the only flowers around, there were several greenhouses devoted to other varieties.  Here is the Taiwan Pleione [台灣一葉蘭 (Pleione formosana)].  Sometimes called the Taiwan Tulip, it is found at elevations ranging from 1,000-2,500 meters above sea level:

The Taiwan Pleione [台灣一葉蘭 (Pleione formosana)]

Torch Lily [Kniphofia uvaria]

Geraniums [Pelargonium asperum]

Calla Lily [Zantedeschia aethiopica]

Didier’s Tulips [Tulipa gesneriana]

Persian Buttercups [Ranunculus asiaticus]

French Lavender [Lavandula stoechas]

Fuchsias [Fuchsia hybrida]

The Meifeng Farm Official Website has a lot of information about getting there but information on events doesn’t seem to be too clearly laid out on the English version.
