Lavender


My lovely lavender hedge is in full bloom, the bees are buzzing around it, the smell is glorious, so strong and pungent.
The colors of the smoky blue, purplish flowers on green stalks are a joy to the eye. When I am out in my garden I always run my hands through them and bruise the flowers on my wrist, so that their lovely smell stays with me a little longer.


This picture is of my lavender hedge and herb walk, I have herbs between paving stones.

  1. How I crave a lavender hedge such as yours, but alas, Lavender is very stubborn for me. I have tried growing it in so many locations with different soils and still, I have nothing but old dried out stalks. Oh well, I will enjoy yours from afar.
