The sweet smell of lavender
I saw a shelf full of lavender in a shop today. Cute small bushes with abundance of purple flowers.
No, I didn't get any. But boy, did the smell lovely, or what!?
I was never really a fan of lavender, but it is probably because I knew it from those artificial air or toilet refreshers. The real thing is completely different. It is amazing!
And here is the field of wild growing one. Looking all happy :)

Thank you.
Nice to look at and nice to smell.
Yep, yep :D
Its amazing when the whole area blooms in purple.
I like scent of Helichrysum and Rosemary more than those of Lavender, but still I rooted one steam last year, just bees and butterflies in honor. :)
Now when you say toilet and so.. scent of Lavender is really misused, it reminds me too on artificial smell that I have never liked.
I like rosemary too :) I have one growing in a pot too.
Yea it is the artificial one I never liked so I was avoiding anything lavender for a long time. But the real one is really nice :)
It's like with lemon scent. The real is nice.. but artificial smells like washing-up liquid :p
That is Stoechas lavender, my favourite kind
And you even know the Variety :D
That's because I have it :P I don't particularly like the English lavender flowers but Stoechas is cute
