There is mixed history here, Joanne. Some believe the place was named when Lady Jane Franklin (the Governors wife) ate breakfast there, others say it was named after the wild eggs and bacon flowers from the pea family, that grow in the area.
I had to look up eggs and bacon flowers and oh my! They are so pretty!! From their colouring, I can see where the name came from. The flower reminds me of an orchid.
Beautiful pics. Love the breakfast name!
